Jon spent 3 weeks in Virginia working. He was expecting to be working all 21 days he was there. They finished their project a couple of days early so I had the opportunity to fly out there and spend some time with him. He was staying just south of Richmond so Washington DC was just a couple of hours away as well as Virginia Beach. We spent 2 days exploring DC and still didn't see everything. DC is wonderful!!! We had so much fun seeing the sites of the National Mall and Arlington Cemetery. We went to the top of the Washington Monument and took a tour of the Capital building. We also drove out to the Washington DC temple. It is a beautiful building with a wonderful spirit! The second day spent in Washington, we walked through part of the the Smithsonian, the National Archives, and went past the White House. It was hot and humid so my hair became a whole new entity. We stopped and watched a rugby match that was being played on the Mall. That was fun since we have never seen one before. We even rode on the Metro which was quite an experience for two country bumpkins from Idaho. On day 3 we drove out to Virginia Beach. We walked along the beach and played in the Atlantic Ocean. We also saw Chesapeake Bay and saw lots of things that you just don't see in Idaho. It was 3 wonderful days of being together, having fun, and seeing new things!

Back to School
It's back to school time and I always try and take the kids photos in the fall. It helps ease the guilt of not buying the mug shots from school. It has been quite a change with all of the kids in school all day. I have missed them but have enjoyed getting things done although my list of projects hasn't decreased much. The kids are loving being back in school. Spencer loves 1st grade, Leann is thriving in 3rd, and Abby can't get enough of 4th.
