Enjoying time with family

This week we were so lucky to have our family come and spend time with us. My brother Jared and his wife Lacey came on the tail end of a trip from Africa. Brady's mom and sister Lindsey and our baby niece Molly came too for a few days. The house is quiet and lonely now that they're gone. It was fun discovering our new town with them. A quick list of our favorite things: 

Smithsonians- Absolutely amazing collection of dinosaurs, animals, a butterfly house, mummies. . . 

National memorials/ monuments
The White House-
Senate tour and session visit-

Gettysburg (Lacey and Jared)
dc metro,  dc warf, getting lost in the dc ghetto
Arlington national cemetery- while we were there a wreath ceremony was occurring for a mother that lost her son, It was hard not to get all misty eyed while they played taps. It is a very touching, sacred place.

Nana's "birthday"
