It's hot outside! But I LOVE IT! Bring on the 90 degrees and humidity baby! Gavin, on the other hand, is not such a fan. Here's some funny pictures of him trying to stay cool.

Outside the Washington DC Temple--it was very bright!

Popsicles and cold water bottles. I love summer!

WASHINGTON NATIONALS GAME, 8 ROWS FROM ALL THE ACTION!

Matt got free tickets so he and Lara took us along! They have been the best tour guides and friends we could have asked for! Thanks so much Matt and Lara!

The excited group! The boys could hardly contain their excitement. Gavin about cheered himself hoarse just for the little boy who threw the opening pitch. :)


Me and Lara!

Washington DC has been AMAZING! There are so many things to see, so much history to learn and be reminded of, and so much fun to be had. I have not been the best at taking pictures...but here are a few showing things we've seen.

Korean War Memorial. It was beautiful, a wonderful tribute to those who served. We had a great guide who gave us a 20 minute lesson on the events surrounding the war, some points of the war itself, and how the memorial reflects those things. For example, there are 19 soldiers representing the branches of the military (some for the Navy, AirForce, etc). On the wall there are pictures etched in the outline of a mountain range and you see the reflection of those soldiers on the mountains. With the reflection, there are another 19 soldiers, 38 total, symbolic of the 38th parallel. My Grandfather served in the Korean War so this meant a lot to me.
