Washington DC

Dustin and I got the opportunity to go to Washington DC in April. It was AWESOME!! I went out 5 days before Dustin for a work conference and then he flew out Saturday and we played til Tuesday! We stayed in Bethesda, MD (Which is the cutest place ever!). We took the metro to DC everyday. We were lucky enough to have Jim, Jess, and Alice come hang with us too! (Dustin's bro) I was pretty disappointed that I did not get to see Mari and her family. Maybe next time?

The first day was a "little" rainy/windy. (The day the tornadoes hit). We didn't skip a beat and got out on the town. We walked ALOT!! We had ALOT of fun! We fell in LOVE with each other all over again.

We saw a lot of monuments and museums. They were all pretty amazing. I had to get a picture of these orchids in honor of my Grandma Mary (miss you)

Here are some pics from some museums-

Escalator in Rosslyn- my Bro-Curt- said these are the 2nd longest/steepest escalators. They were pretty cool. Dustin and I rode them down twice and up once. We had to get the feel of both ways :)Of course we had to see the temple before we came home.
