Washington DC Trip

Slideshow

THANKSGIVING

So Scottie and I were traveling to DC Thanksgiving day for our little get away: which means we had our first dinner away from family, and since we were traveling we had to eat at a restuarant. We both agreed we needed to eat at a place where we could still stuff our faces so the only logical place for us was...GOLDEN CORRAL.

Scottie and I had been in the resturant for about 10 minutes when he leaned over to me and said "Ang I think we are the only normal people in here," and it was so true... the place was full of lots of interesting people... and then there was US!!!

Needles to say we had a great time and spend almost 2 hours eating. We didn't eat the next day until 4pm because we were still so full.

WE LOVE AMERICA!!!

Thanksgiving Break was a blast for Scottie and me!!! We decided that we would do something special since it was our first Thanksgiving away from family. The special something that we did was go to Washington DC. Scottie had never been there before and it's been years since I was last there, so it was a fun experience for us both. We loved seeing all of the monuments, museums, and important buildings (like the Capital, White House, and the Supreme Court House.)
US OUTSIDE THE JEFFERSON MEMORIAL

CAN YOU GUESS WHERE WE ARE AT???

THE WHITE HOUSE !!!(hope you were right)

You can't get that close,but lucky for us our camera has a powerful zoom

THIS IS AN AMAZING PIC OF THE CAPTITAL (taken by Scott Parker)

This is an ok pic taken by a stranger. I guess you have to do what you have to do to get both peeps in the picture LOL

This monument was built in 2004 and it was amazing.

Us inside the Museuem of Natural History (way cool, they even had real dinosaur bones!!!)

The history teacher was going crazy inside of me the whole time and I absolutely loved seeing all of the historical things there (I seriously almost started crying when I saw the original Declaration of Independence).

THIS WAS THE CONSTITUTION

(they keep it very dark to preseve the document)

The Lincoln Memorial (our fav)

THE WALL OF REMEMBERENCE

(this wall is from the Vietnam war and there are over 58,000 names on the wall. I am so grateful for all the sevice men who fought and died for our courntry... this memorial was very touching)

Here is Scottie's new best friend...NOT I would be jealous!

Korean War Memorial

Scottie and I appreciate our country so very much and we are grateful for this trip because it made us that much more aware of how great our nation is! This is truly the promised land and we pray that God will always bless America!

So I have too many pictures that I want to share and this post is getting too long, so I am going to try to figure out how to make a slideshow so you can all enjoy them!!!!
