Weekend in D.C.

The weekends come and go by way to fast out here. Maybe it's because Austin's weekends only consist of one day, Sunday! This Sunday we decided to go to Arlington National Cemetery. Besides the fact that it was way too hot, we had a lot of fun. We walked around, went and saw the Tomb of the Unknown, changing of the guards, General Lee's house, and JFK's grave. The cemetery has such a neat feeling and we are so glad we got to see it. For other news, I'm headed home in a week!! I can't believe it's already time to leave and start school again. We've had such a fun summer and I'm so glad we got to see and do the things we have. I'm so so excited to see my family but at the same time, so sad to leave sweet Austin here! I'm going to miss him.

Austin was not enjoying the heat, ha ha...

On Saturday, Amy's mom took Brandi and I to the Washington D.C. temple to do a session! It was amazing, I'm so glad we got to do that. The temple is so pretty!

Oh and I had to post this, ha ha Amy was teaching Austin a little yoga.. "the downward facing dog" (he's gonna kill me)

Washington D.C.

Last week our office decided to moved to D.C. for the last couple months of the summer. We've really liked it here so far. It's alot nicer and cleaner then Philadelphia! ha It's so crazy thinking how close we are too so many neat things. I'm actually coming home in about a week and a half so i'm gonna try to do and see all the things before I go. Last sunday we had a BBQ with all of our friends and then yesterday Brandi and I went to the Washington D.C. zoo ha! We had alot of fun and I was thrilled to see the pandas :)

SUNDAY AT THE BEACH

Well since we had so much fun last week at the beach, we decided to go again! We wanted the boys to be able to come with us so we went on Sunday. We left that morning and drove to Ocean City, NJ. We played in the waves, got a little too much sun, fed the pigeons, shopped on the boardwalk, and had a blast..... P.S. don't mind Adam in his speedo... ha ha!

THE BEACH

First off, our summer is going great! We are having a lot of fun out here and have made some awesome friends. We'll be so glad to go home and be with our families again but we are liking it out here. I honestly can't believe it is the middle of July and I will be coming home in a month. Austin will be staying out here until sometime in September so i'll be coming home alone. On other news, we've been doing lots of fun things lately. On Sunday we all layed out at the pool, went to South Street, bowling, and then to P.F. Changs! Here are a few pictures:


On Tuesday, Brandi, Amy, Che, and I all packed up and drove to the beach. We went to Ocean City, NJ which is about an hour and a half away. We packed a cooler full of lunch and snacks, played in the ocean, layed out, and laughed all day long. The weather was perfect which made it a great day! We have been able to do so many neat things out here and my summer has been so much fun. It will be a definate reality check when i come back home and have to wake up early for school! ha ha! Here are a few more pictures:

4TH OF JULY

Our 4th of July was definatly different this year, but we had a great time! Even though we missed our families and the Richfield festivities, we're so glad we got to spend the 4th here. It was amazing to be in Philadelphia during this holiday. Austin and the guys had to work so Che and I took off early for the Historic District. We listened to a reinactment in front of Independence Hall, watched the best parade EVER, and had a blast... the parade was so neat.

INDEPENDENCE HALL & PARADE:

After the parade we headed to Chili's for lunch then waited for the guys to get off work. After they were home we all headed downtown again. We went to "the largest free celebration in America". I would definatly agree it was the largest, I have never seen so many people in my life.. We watched Sheryl Crow perform live and then watched the fireworks. Oh and don't worry that it took us about an hour and a half to get home (15 miles). Overall, we had a great day and are so glad we live in a free country! :)

GOLFiNG & SHOPPiNG

This last sunday we wanted to just kind of relax, therefore we went to the pool and layed out :) It was very relaxing and fun! After laying out, we decided to go hit range balls. We had alot of fun even though i kind of suck.. ha ha! On Monday the girls decided to go shopping. We went to the outlet mall and found some great deals. We had so much fun we completely lost track of time. We've had a great week and were excited for this weekend and hope everyone has a great 4th of July! Shopping with the girls:

U.S. OPEN

Last sunday Austin, Ty and Trav went to the U.S. Open. They woke up at 4 a.m. and drove to NYC all just to see tiger ha ha! They had a great day and luckily the weather was pretty good. They had a blast watching Tiger and all the others play. Austin said he almost brushed shoulders with Tiger, and they definatly made eye contact. ha ha! He was pretty excited about it. I'm so glad they had fun! The sad thing is, they didn't let him take a camera in so he didn't get any pictures... Other then that life has been about the same. We're still liking it out here!! Brandi and I try and keep ourselves busy, ha! We went to the proposal last week and we loved it. I definatly recommend it :) It was soo good! Here is a couple pics of me and Aus just in case you forgot what we looked like:
