We went up to the Washington DC temple with Grandma and Grandpa to show them the beautiful temple lights. It's almost like a mini-temple square. We got there early enough that Grandma Grandpa and Becky could do some sealings (Adam was a good sport and tended the little boys). Laura and her friend Erin from our branch did baptisms. It was a quick trip but enjoyable. The DC temple is our temple that we are assigned to (even though it is 5.5 hours away - 8 if you have children and pregnant ladies needing potty breaks.)
Beautiful lights
On the way up, we watched Night at the Museum II. We went to the Smithsonean and saw as many things as we could from the movie. We went to the Air and Space and saw Amelia Airhart's plane. We went to the art museum and found Mr Thinker, and we went to the Natural History museum of course. Grandma Grandpa and Erin went to the Holocaust museum and got sufficiently melancholy.
Here we are eating our $15 happy meal. Seriously we got like 8 chicken nugets and one drink and a teeny pizza and it was $15. Adam doesn't look to happy about it.
We stayed right across from the action in a place where we had a view of the Capital building from our room. It was beautiful in the early morning and at night. Now when Jack sees a quarter, he says, "That's the temple we went to." The boys LOVE hotels. We scored a great priceline deal and got the rooms for $60/night but then they added on an extra $25 for parking. The nerve of these big city people...

We ce;ebrated Adams birthday dinner at the Mexican restaurant. Nothing says Happy birthday like whip cream up your nose.
Our crew with Erin (She's the other curly red head in the picture- the one who's coat actually zips) She is probably our sister in another life. She is a lifeguard swimmer and does triathlons too).
