We decided to drive down and do some sightseeing in Washington D.C. this past Sunday. It is only about a two hour drive from where we live. We left Sunday afternoon and didn't really have enough time to see everything. Bryce said we definitely have to go back. Our camera also ran out of battery, which was a bummer. We visited Arlington National Cemetery, rode paddle boats on the Potomac and saw the Jefferson and Washington Monuments from there, and then we decided to walk up to the Washington Monument. You have to have timed tickets to go to the top of the Washington Monument, and they were all given out by the time we got up there, but we got lucky and were still able to go to the top of it! It was pretty cool. After the Washington Monument I had had enough walking around in the heat and was ready to go home. It was so HOT! We will for sure have to go back and see more and bring some water or something with us next time.
All hail King Bryce! This was by the tomb of the unknown soldier.

There were quite a few helicopters flying by while we were on the paddle boats. Bryce was like "I bet that's the President!" so he took a picture. I was a little more skeptical, but we did learn later that the President was in fact on one of the many helicopters that flew over us!
Other than our trip to DC things haven't been too exciting for us lately. We only have about a month left to spend here in Pennsylvania.

Bummer that your camera ran out...but at least you got to see the president Fly over top of you! (Uh...maybe...!!!) Only one more month, huh?! That is exciting!
that looks like so much fun, we still need to head down there, i like the helicopter picture haha
I wish I had known you were coming down to DC. Tyler and I would have taken you to all the fun places AND provided some water :)! Next time you come, let us know! You could stay with us if you wanted to spend more than just one day.
How fun! Looks like you guys are havin' a blast. :) Are you coming back to Provo for the fall? What are your plans? Oh and hey cute blog header!!! I love it! How do you find out how to do that stuff? Is there instructions somewhere?
P.S. You are the cutest pregnant woman Kathleen!
Looks like a lot of fun! We are excited to see you guys and for your future baby.
Uh oh...don't tell Andrew you got to go to the top of the Washington Monument. Along with the fact that we didn't know you had to have tickets to see the permanent exhibits at the Holocaust Museum (but did end up getting in), we didn't know about the tickets for the Washington Monument. There is a lot to see in D.C. though...so I'm sure we'll be going back one day. :)
Yes we will be back in Provo this fall! Nate has endless years of school left (well not really, I hope). I don't know what my address will be so just email me the info. I would love to make it. My email is vballmegs18@hotmail.com.
