Visiting Dad in Virginia Day Two


This place is amazing. Green and glorious everywhere you look. There is such a unique energy here.



 On the second day we walked the National Mall. Saw all the Monuments, wore our feet to the bone. It was great!















Visiting Dad in Virginia Day One

At the end of September Eric and I flew out to Alexandria to visit my dad. 

He Moved out there a few years back and has grown t love the area, so we took advantage of the opportunity.

 Leaving the kids at home to fend for themselves, we hoped on a plane, flying first class baby!

We took a red-eye flight....bad idea. So we drove to the Washington DC temple and slept in the car for 2 hours. Toured the Visitors Center and Isaw this pretty spider web in the shrubs.



We went to the George Washington Masonic Lodge in Alexandria. A very interesting place to visit.






After checking into a great hotel, we grabbed some lunch. I love Mediterranean food!




 Then we finished up the evening by walking the streets of Old Town Alexandria, sitting at the dock on the Potomac River just people watching.
