Time for Touring!

Broc and I were so happy and lucky to have Grandma and Uncle Rob come out for a visit this past week! Since my schedule is currently wide open I got to play tour guide for the week and oh boy did we have fun! We went trotting around the city and saw so many things! I still can't believe how quickly the week flew by but here is just a short re-cap!



They arrived late Sunday night and Monday Uncle Rob had some time so we went on a tour of the Capitol, saw the Library of Congress and the National Archives plus the National Gallery of Art. It was a packed day! Then on Tuesday grandma and I had some time together so we went and took a tour of the Masonic Temple and also stopped at the Air Force Memorial! We then went grocery shopping and I showed Grandma my couponing ways! Once we were done grocery shopping we picked Rob up and made our way over to Arlington Cemetery! Again it was a packed day! We ended the day right by making a family favorite Dutch meal, green potatoes, and watching the season finale of biggest loser! Talk about a fun day!



Then on Wednesday Grandma and I hit up the city once again! We started the day off at the Holocaust Museum! It made us grateful for this country and the freedoms we so dearly love! After the Holocaust Museum we hurried over for a tour of the Washington Monument! The view from up top is so spectacular! Once that tour was over we hurried on to the National Museum of American History and the National Museum of Natural History which were both packed full of interesting things to see! By the time we were done with all of that I think I can honestly say for both of us that we were exhausted! We made our way home and enjoyed a nice little picnic out front for a while! It was so enjoyable after a long day!



On our final day together we decided to go to the temple! Broc and Rob both had work off and it was a beautiful time! We love the temple and are grateful every time we get to go there! After the temple we came home for a quick lunch and then while I went off to an interview and grandma took a nap, the boys went golfing! Hard life we live wouldn't you say? Once all the afternoon festivities were complete we went out to eat in celebration of a great week together! We tried out a new place called Ted's Montana Grill and it was mighty fine! They even specialize in Bison Burgers! Pretty intense! Once the burgers were gone we decided to end our touring week by showing grandma most of the monuments! We saw the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Korean memorial and even the Jefferson Memorial! It was the perfect end to a perfect week! Grandma and Uncle Rob, we miss you both already so hurry up and come back soon! Please!?!
