Our Blast to the Past



We had a short but memorable trip to Washington DC from Feb. 23-27. We saw all the sites you would ever hope for and enjoyed getting away for a few days. This first one is the Iwo Jima Memorial just outside of Arlington National Cemetery...quite impressive.








Here's the large and beautiful Washington DC temple, which is actually located in Maryland.












Mount Vernon was one of our favorite spots. This is where George Washington lived and built a beautiful mansion. It still has the feel of a colonial plantation and there is a spectacular view of the Potomac River from his backyard.










We weren't all that impressed with the White House, maybe that's because we couldn't get a tour and the fence kind of limited our ability to really take it all in. Still, it's cool to say we've been there now.








One of Ryan's favorite spots in DC. The Lincoln Memorial is classy, elegant, inspiring, serene, majestic, and beautiful beyond description. I (Ryan) think it's really funny to say how great this place is, because it gets Candice all worked up. It really is a nice place.


That's all for tonight. There should be more to come soon. Just hold tight.

Jealous. Maybe I'll have to go hit all those sites up as well.

Candice: if you want to get Ryan all worked up to get back at him, tell him that Rudy is a terrible movie.
