Washington D.C. Day 3

On our last day we had the privilege of being part of Cam's friend's promotion ceremony in the Navy. He decided to have the ceremony at the Jefferson Memorial. It was so great to watch these three friends catch up all weekend and then participate in this.

Cute family photo:

Emmett loved hanging out with his friend Bella.

Then we went to the Archives to see the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights. No pictures inside, but I loved this quote on the outside of the building. The buildings in D.C. are so massive and impressive.

It was a quick weekend, but so much fun. On the way out of town, the whole crew stopped at Cafe Rio for lunch. Perfect way to end the trip!

Spring Break Vacation 1

We went to Utah for my spring break and had a blast. We stayed SO busy. I'm glad to be home, but it's SO hard to get back in the swing of things. We did so much fun stuff that there are going to be a lot of posts, but I can't narrow down which pictures to share. So here's the first of many vacation posts...

We got all packed up and someone just had to help load up the car.

We picked up daddy at work, and had a big adventure getting to the airport. I've never been so late for a flight - we sat down and the plane pulled away from the gate 3 minutes later!!! E was fascinated. "Whoa! What's that?" is all we heard for a while.

Grandma didn't know we were coming to visit, so it was a big surprise when we showed up at the house the next morning!

After that, we headed to my favorite restaurant (Cafe Rio!) and had some yummy lunch. There must be something about that place, because E fell asleep on this trip as well (see the last trip to Utah here. )
