This will be my last post on our trip. I realized the I hadn't posted these pictures, so here I go.
These were taken in D.C. across the street from the National Cathedral and I just though everything looked so beautiful.
In front of the National Cathedral
If you look closely you will see in the middle of the picture is the VP's home. Just below and to the right of the Washington Monument.
After the Cathedral we went to Arlington Cemetery.
After the Cathedral we went to Arlington Cemetery. It was awe inspiring, when you look out over all the graves and think about the cost of freedom and all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Knowing this is just one cemetery and there are many men and women who are laid to rest across the country and world.
We got to the tomb of the Unknown Solder just in time for the changing of the guard. It was really amazing!
If you look out from this point you can see the Pentagon in the background.
Our last trip to the Marine Corps Museum.
This wall pays tribute to all the men who lost their lives on Iwo Jima. Each pin represents a man who die in the battle.
Jess and I couldn't look at it without crying.
Giving you a small glimpse of a base in Vietnam (it was even hot and humid).
Our last night with the kiddos.
We had so much fun with all of you. Thank you for taking time out of your busy lives to show us around. We miss you all so much and look forward to when we will spend time with you again.

It was our pleasure! We had so much fun with you guys! My only regret is that it was not long enough!;)By next year, Lord willing, we will be moving back to the RIGHT coast! Did I just say that out loud?:) The kiddos talk about you all the time and Sam is covinced that we are moving at the end of this school year. Thank you for spending the time and the money to come and see us--It truly meant the world! Please give those girlies hugs and kisses from us! Love ya ;)
Love you too! I agree with you, it wasn't long enough.
