Last month we went to Washington DC for the weekend and had a blast!

Spring Break 2014 Momma Jo and Ron came to spend spring break with us and we loved having them! Officially they were our first visitors since we have moved for school. We  drove all over and went to lots national monuments. We landed Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Mount Vernon, Yorktown, Williamsburge, Jamestown's Ferry ride, Aunt Carols house,  and the Washington DC LDS Temple.

V had his first sleep over in the hotel room next to ours in Grandma and Grandpas room. Clay and I went to the DC temple for a date night and since we were getting back late to the hotel grandma suggested V needed to sleep in their room. haha. He loved every minute of it. Spring break was suppose to be a vacation for Grandma and Grandpa, but they were so gracious to give us a break wherever they could. We felt so blessed they took time away from their busy lives to come see us. We loved having Grandma and Grandpa! Can't wait til next time!

Today was a good day. We got a little adventurous and spent last night in Washington DC in preps for a wedding for Clay's mission friend. I was extra excited getting up there because our new temple district is Washington DC! It was my first time at the DC temple! Woot!  While Clay was in on the wedding ceremony, V and I walked around the temple grounds and even went in and checked out the visitor center. Pretty special mom and lil buddy time talking temples and stuff. :) The visitor center had on display "Jesus once was a little child," the artwork of Rose Datoc Dall.  I loved it! Click Rose Datoc Dall painting series to see what I am talking about.
