Our busy weekend

Sean's school was closed on Thursday and Friday last weekend so we had a busy 3 days seeing the sites and spending time with some good friends of ours.

On Thursday we got up REALLY early to catch a train to New York with Ryan and Emily to go through a temple session. We took turns watching the kids and it worked out perfectly. The temple is so beautiful. Sitting in the quiet Celestial room and feeling the peace and serenity you would easy forget that you are in such a busy and noisy city. We even got a special tour of the temple which was really cool.

As you can tell it was a cloudy day. Sean, Ayden, Sage and myself got caught in a rain storm walking back from the Museum of Natural History. It was quite a site.

Sean and I waited outside the temple for Ryan and Emily to get back with the kids. We enjoyed a New York style hot dog.

Ryan and Emily had to rush back to make it their session. Ayden was so tired from all the excitement he was asleep by the time they made it back.

The next day was beautiful! We all took a drive out to Smith Memorial Playhouse in Philly. We had fun spending the day with Ryan, Emily and Sage.

I think the adults liked the big slide more then the kids. Man... we look like dorks!

On Saturday we drove out to Washington DC for a day of site seeing. We also had dinner with a good friend of Seans that was in town on business.

Had to get a picture of the White House.

This is actually a picture Sean took while he was there for the cherry blossom festival. Its a photo of the Washington Memorial.

This is at the Korean War Memorial.

I had to take a picture of the Utah column at the World War II Memorial since its our home.

I was really impressed with the tributes they made to Lincoln for all he has done for the country and for the people.
