The best weekend!

I went to Washington DC this weekend for the first time since I was a little kid. It was amazing! The first day we went to the Air and Space Museum (so did everyone else it seemed...it was SO crowded!). Then we went to the Holocaust Museum. That was so sad to see, but life changing! Then we walked around Georgetown and did a little shopping and saw some fireworks shooting off over the Lincoln Memorial while we stood on a bridge that went over the Potomac River (amazing). The next morning, we woke before the sun rose to go to an Easter Sunrise Service at the Lincoln Memorial. We sat on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial while we watched the sun rise over the Washington Monument. The choir sung Easter songs and we even got to sing along at some points. It was magical! Here is the sun rising...

This was probably my favorite part of the trip.

Then we went home and went back to sleep, woke up and went to church and then took a scenic drive through Alexandria. A walk in the park was next and then back to the house for dying some easter eggs and a delicious dinner. After we were so stuffed, we watched a few minutes of golf and then got in the car to head back to Philly (aka home sweet home).

We had one quick stop at the Washington DC temple. It was chilly but SO BEAUTIFUL! I never noticed before but there is a stained glass window running down the whole side of the temple. If you can't picture it, here is a picture:

Cool huh? I like it. Anyway, those are my adventures! Many more are coming. :)
