Summer II

In June my beautiful mom turned 60...and in October my handsome dad will turn 60. To commemorate this birthday, they decided on a family vacation to Washington, D.C. While in D.C. my parents also celebrated their 38th Wedding Anniversary, so it was really a joyous trip.

Mom and Dad on their 38th Wedding Anniversary

John and I drove in with mom and dad on Thursday. We went to Arlington Cemetery, the Holocaust Museum, and Mount Vernon with them. When Colleen and Tom joined us we went to the Smithsonian Museums: American History, National History, Air and Space, and American Indian. We also went to the National Archives building, The Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Spy Museum, a National's baseball game, and had a personal tour of the Capitol. We also toured D.C. on a Duck Tour and Segway. It was QUITE the trip. John and I had such a wonderful time.

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!!!!
