Sunday in DC

I believe that what we spent on cabs today could fund a small country for a year. In reality, the church meeting house in DC and the DC temple visitor's center, are located in the middle of nowhere, and aren't especially close to each other, or close to our hotel, or close to any of the destinations we wanted to visit. That being said, we were able to tick off some of the last things on our to-do list because of those crazy cab fares: Sacrament meeting, DC temple, Arlington Cemetery, Lincoln Monument, Vietnam Memorial, and dinner at 5 Guys (we are on vacation after all, and have to eat somewhere:~) Today was fun, but we simply can't wait to see our NC family tomorrow. And no planes tomorrow, just a train: Choo choo.


Going to church in the nations capitol. 



Eating Subway at the visitors center, with the statue of Christ behind the glass.



We were lucky enough to view this fantastic art exhibit by painter Rose Dall about the early years of the Savior. The pictures were stunning. 



So lucky to have Ryan's parents, Ed and Linda with us.  Families are forever!



My five in front of the DC Temple.



Preston at Arlington.



The most famous JFK quote found at his gravesite.



We watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  It was beautiful.



Smith's on the bridge over the Potomac River.



Honest Abe!
