East Coast 2013 D.C. Monuments


The monuments at "The Mall" in D.C. never get old. Every time I've visited D.C. I check them out. We started the day off at Arlington National Cemetery. Make sure you catch the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier, always impressive. I'm grateful for the men and women who have and continue to serve this great country of ours. 

My traditional picture in the same spot with Keith!

I will forever be grateful to live in this country and for all those who have given me the freedoms I enjoy. I love this country that was divinely created. 

East Coast 2013 Mount Vernon

If you are ever in the D.C. area, you must visit Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon was George Washington's home and it is amazing. I f you ever decide to go please let me know, I am pimping my mother in-law out to be your tour guide. She is amazing and knows almost all there is to know about Washington and his digs at Mt. Vernon. 

 We always take our picture joining the family
 Janet and Keith, the greatest in-laws EVER! 
 Angela and Bill, the greatest parents EVER! 
 There isn't much else in this life we love as much as traveling together. 
This is George's back porch with the most amazing view. It is right on the water.

East Coast 2013 Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

We were able to spend some time on the east coast with both of our parents and it was a dream! We started the trip off with a visit to Gettysburg where they were celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. We have been to Gettysburg before but not quite like this. They had reenactments of the battle and tons of fun booths and games. It's always fun to tour these historic sights with Janet and Keith (Rob's parents) as our tour guides, they know their stuff! 
We love Abe! 
It really was the greatest thing ever to travel with both of our parents! 
Keith explaining the beauty we were looking at that was once full of civil war soldiers
Love these historic towns and buildings

Pulled pork sandwiches, very civil war-esque 
The scenery in Gettysburg is dreamy

Janet and Keith are great in-laws!
I love the fire coming from the cannon 
 My Dad is a sucker for any kind of booth, this happened to be a homemade root beer one
 How cute are the glass bottles?!
 We had a great time walking the historic town of Gettysburg and the cute shops.
