Washington D.C.

Last weekend Andrew & I had the opportunity to visit my old roommate Tori and her husband Brandon in Washington D.C. (not to be confused with the state I grew up in :) ). We had a wonderful time visiting the temple, seeing the sights, and enjoying great company. Probably Andrew's only regret is not having enough time. As you may know D.C. is a walking city and being pregnant isn't really conducive to excessive walking (especially in bad shoes at the speed of Andrew). We had a great time but have been spending the entire week catching up with real life--thus the delay in this post! :) Enjoy the pictures--there are a lot!!

First stop -- Washington D.C. Temple

Mt. Vernon
(George Washington's Mansion)

WWII Memorial

Washington Monument

Lincoln Memorial
(our camera isn't cool enough to work in the dark)

Erika & Andrew with our gracious hosts, Brandon & Tori

Jefferson Memorial
(Andrew quizzed me on what this building was before we visited it when driving by and I failed miserably)

Potomac River
(despite no fishing signs for health reasons, there were a few people with their rods out)

Arlington National Cemetery -- Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

And last but certainly not least -- The Holocaust Museum -- we found out you need tickets the day before we left. So Andrew stood in line on the morning of the day we had to leave and we got in. Luckily I've seen Schindler's List and learned a lot about the Holocaust otherwise I would've been deeply traumatized by this experience. It's still so terrible and sad though.
