Some of our Favorite DC spots

I loved this garden at Mount Vernon. I am realizing more and more my need to connect with nature often. I am also reminded of how hot it was every single day this summer. My face was always this color.

Part of me fantasizes about living on a plantation like this (without the slaves of course).

Isn't she so cute!?

This is the George Washington Masonic Temple. We learned a lot about George Washington this summer. After visiting alot of his favorite places, home, and monuments I feel like we have a relationship. Weird how that works.

Somehow we did not feel closer to Obama after visiting his house.

We loved the Smithsonian Museums. They provide hours or free entertainment and education. I put this picture up because I discovered I really have a love for modern art. I use to think it had no point but to make people confused, but now I think it is beauty.

One of my favorite places was hanging out in the kitchen with my little helper. She is such a joy to be around.

The DC temple is absolutely huge. We had a wonderful time there.
























Georgetown is a happenin and uppity place. There was a line all the way down the block for one of these famous cupcakes. Boy were they delicious.























We do not have a very good picture of it, but Arlington cemetery was one of my favorite places. Along with the Korean War and Vietnam War Memorials, it has a sacred and life changing effect on all who visit. We could not help but get emotional and feel so grateful to all those who have sacrificed for freedom.
