Joe and I recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary, on Dec. 9th, 2009 in Washington D.C. We had so much fun that I wanted to share a few of the highlights with everyone.
Joe took his first trip to the top of Washington monument with me. Not that he is not afraid of heights...that would be me... but he was never able to get a ticket due to his work schedule. He really enjoyed it especially since he was reading Dan Brown's book the Lost Symbol during our visit. If you haven't read it yet, I would HIGHLY recommend it!
No trip to Washington D.C. is complete without a tour of the Capitol Building...so we toured and enjoyed, but best of all we sat in on the senate debate and got to listen to John McCain and John Cornyn. We could have stayed and listened all day.
The botanical garden was more than I expected. If we ever get to return to D.C. I will be sure to take the kids to tour it.
Joe also arranged for a White House tour. It's not everyday you stand in rooms where you wish the walls could talk about the things they have heard over the last century.
We took some friends, piled into a tiny rental car and headed to National Cathedral and the D.C. Temple. Both were more than I ever expected. The stain glass inside of National Cathedral is inspiring to say the least....
and the temple grounds and visitors center were lit with thousands of lights for Christmas. It was great to visit.
The Jefferson Memorial was a fun walk for us on Saturday. Actually, anyone that visits Washington D.C. will probably need a new pair of shoes after the trip.
Air and Space was so much fun too. We visited to get Trent a little gift and ended up watching an IMAX film about fighter pilots. It was GREAT and I found out just how much Joe secretly wishes he was a few inches shorter so that he could have been a pilot.
