Thanks again Adam! We were lucky enough to be visited by Josh's brother Adam two weekends ago. On Friday of his visit we decided to make a our first trip to D.C. to explore our nations capitol. We took LOTS of pictures, and since they upload so darn slowly on our blog I've decided to post a few here, but the rest of them I put on facebook. (Sorry mom and dad, I told you wrong.)
Anyway, our first stop was the DC temple. Very cool.
After we attended a session we made our way to the train, boarded it, and headed into the middle of DC. First stop... the White House!
Then we made our way over to the Washington Memorial, which was particularly fun to take pictures of.
Then we decided to head over to the one of the smithsonian museums before they closed. On the way we passed this giant map of the world, so Josh or Adam (I'm not sure who.) thought of the great idea to do the mission pic.
We were too late for most of the museums, but we did manage to get into the modern arts exhibit. This art piece is made out of cardboard and aluminum foil. It was pretty intense. The best part was when Adam sat on the chain blocking off the art and broke it. :) This picture was taken after the fact, hence the face.
Another favorite of ours was this art piece...
And the caption for it...
We were in the museum for quite some time so when we finally started our march to the Lincoln memorial it was dark. We tried our hearts out to take good pictures, but it was quite difficult with the camera we had. These are our best... the WWII memorial.
And the Lincoln...
Oh, and I forgot to mention we got to see our first real live white house picket? I guess you could call it. It was all very exciting. :)
