Trip to D.C

Well, so much to catch up on! Thomas and Victoria went to D.C on Tuesday, Oct. 14th. It was long plane ride for Tori but she was a great girl for daddy. The next day, they went to the National Zoo and saw the giant pandas, little turtles learning to swim, and a fish cat (larger than a house cat). She said the little turtles were her favorite! They also went to a park and watched the planes land, which they literally fly right over your head! They hung out with Aunt Laura and Jeff and watched Night at the Museum. They went to Washington Monument, and road all the way to the top! Here's their view!



After that, they ventured over to the Natural History Museum and Victoria got to see lots of animals and precious stones. Check out some of the pictures here! Lindsey met up with the family on Thursday. Laura, Lindsey, Thomas and Tori all went to the D.C. United soccer game. It was awesome to see all the D.C. supporters groups, they were crazy! Friday morning Laura made us some scrapple! East coast breakfast meat, good stuff. We then went to the George Washington Masonic Memorial. What a beautiful place! The grounds were well kept and the view was amazing from the top! We went to a candy store in Old Town Alexandria, bought $18 worth of taffy and then later found out it comes from Taffy Town. (A Utah company!) Our flight left early Saturday morning and before you know you it we were back in Utah!

Meanwhile, while we were in D.C, Jordan was helping his mom take care of Bosco. He gave him lots of kisses! Now Thomas owes him a trip to see the Jazz play!

We love going to the D.C. area. We can't wait to go back! Its important that everyone sees these memorials and monuments to realize how much our founding fathers went through and how important it is to remember history. There is still so much more to see in D.C. so I'm sure we will plan another trip soon.
