washington d.c.

Our last weekend to explore the east and where did we go? Washington D.C.!!

Our first stop was the Washington D.C. Temple. Unfortunately, the temple was closed because current poor weather made the electricity a little sketchy. But fortunately, one of my great friends Audrey who is serving in the Washington D.C. North mission, was in the Temple Visitors' Center!! It was so crazy and so fun to see her! :)

Our second stop was at Scott & Camille's. Ben and Camille served together in the Hong Kong Mission and now Camille is married to Scott, she is seven months pregnant, and they live in Washington D.C.!

We got to their house, where we were going to stay the night, around 7 p.m. and we ate dinner until 10 p.m.! We just talked and talked and laughed and laughed! Then, we ate breakfast from like 8:30 to 10:00 - talking and laughing even more! It was so fun! Scott & Camille are so great!

Ben is really excited in this picture because he had just pulled off the most amazing parallel parking job! Seriously. :)

Here we are on Saturday morning in front of the Washington Monument before we went our separate ways!

Third stop: Washington Monument.

Fourth stop: The White House.

Fifth stop: The Lincoln Memorial

Sixth stop: Forrest Gump, anyone?

Seventh stop: Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

Eight stop: Chinatown for a late lunch/early dinner at "New Big Wong." Authentic, traditional, and yummy!!

After dinner, we got free water ice and custard at the grand opening of Chinatown's Rita's! What luck!

Ninth stop: back to the car, tired and sunburnt!!

What a fun day!! :)
