I know there was other stuff I wanted to blog about since the last time, but I have these pictures out so I better take advantage of that. We had the opportunity to go up to Virginia all together and visit with my family. My oldest niece was getting baptized so what a great excuse to go on a vacation. Stuart had never been to Washington D.C. and we have some friends up there too, so if you haven't already guessed we did a lot while we were there.
We decided to drive so we would have our own car and enjoy the ride up, and let's be honest who can really afford plane tickets these days. We were half way thru South Carolina when our battery died and burned up the alternator. We pulled over in a very small town and as Stuart tried to find an auto repair parts or mechanic and very nice man came to help us. He let the kids and I sit in his air conditioned car while he called the owner of the auto parts store who came and opened up after closing just for us and we were able to get back on the road within an hour. I couldn't believe how nice these strangers were. The Lord was really watching over us that day.
We had so much fun with all my family. We definitely kept busy all week and the cousins took full advantage of all the time they had together. I wish we lived closer so they could play more often.
D.C. is so much fun, with too much to see. Luckily we had good weather for the 2 days we spent walking around and enjoying all the free attractions. The monuments are amazing and it is always fun to learn more about our countries history, especially around the 4Th of July. We decided to opt out of the fireworks on the capitol because of the crowds and the kids (which is kind of funny since we go to Disney so often), but found some neighborhood fireworks that were just as fun! It was a sad day when we left for all, but happy days are around the corner because we may all get together again before the end of the year!
