I have dreamed of coming to this place my whole life and I am so happy that because Brian worked so hard at his job, I was able to see it all. We loved the culture, and the beautiful history on display. We loved that reminder to always be thankful we live here. I love that the whole city is centered around statehood and government. I love that everywhere you travel in the city, you can see the monuments. I love that D.C. is so reminiscent of the past. I love the old houses, the Georgian feel towards everything. I loved it all.

Feelings of Washington D.C.
I have dreamed of coming to this place my whole life and I am so happy that because Brian worked so hard at his job, I was able to see it all. We loved the culture, and the beautiful history on display. We loved that reminder to always be thankful we live here. I love that the whole city is centered around statehood and government.

Road block
One stop on the bus tour was a look at the Vice Presidents house. It was big with lots of security.
As we were sitting there waiting to turn a bunch of cops blocked the whole road off and waited.
Fifteen minutes went by and we saw an entourage of black suvs. Inside was the Vice President himself returning home for the night.
I thought it was pretty cool but I guess road blocks are just a part of every day life for D.C. folk.
As soon as the cars next to us saw the police section off the road, they put their cars into park and pulled out a book to wait it out! It's hilarious how some things are totally normal in different places.

{ Beautiful }D.C.
These images are some of my favorite memories of D.C. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to this beautiful place. It is so historic, so beautiful, so diverse and so stately.
Travel buddies
Whenever we go on these recognition trips we have been lucky to see lots of the same faces each time. These dear people have become such great friends of ours and we enjoy seeing them so much! Since this trip one couple has gotten engaged, one couple promoted to a different area, one couple just had a baby, and one couple gets married in April. We love you guys!
Double decker
A first for us and unbelievably fun. This double decker bus we took around town takes you to 68 different historical places in 3 hours and is by far the best way we have ever traveled around town.
