D.C. & New Jersey!!

Well obviously my efforts to blog more often haven't kicked in yet! At the end of October Jordan and I (along with my parents) went on a 10 day vaca to Washington D.C.! It was an absolute blast! For being a girl that is not very interested in history, I learned SO MANY amazing things and gained a huge appreciation for how our country is run, and for all those who fight (and have fought) for our freedom. We saw so many things while we were there- The White House, Capitol, Arlington National Cemetery, Smithsonians, The Bureau of Engraving, Holocaust Museum, Spy Museum, Wax museum, The Washington, Lincoln, FDR, Korean War, and WWII monuments...and that is just a start. My favorite things we did there were touring the white house, and walking through the holocaust museum. We also took a Segway tour of the national mall which was so freakin fun- and hilarious. Jord and I left D.C. four days early, rented a car and drove over to New Jersey where Jordan served his mission. I got to see a lot of area's he served in and meet some of the people he served with and baptized. It was amazing, although I have to admit if I would have seen some of the places he served in BEFORE he actually went there...I might have begged him to come home. Some places were SOOOOO ghetto, it scared me to death! It was such a good experience and we had so much fun!!

Our friend Steve that we met on our Honeymoon-
He was in D.C. the same time as us so we met up with him
for lunch and went to one of the smithsonians!

This pic speaks for itself....AC is kind of like a mini Vegas on the beach!
