The Capital of theses United States

Washington D.C.
Rick and I took a last minute trip to DC for a few days- beautiful spring days in the nations Capital. I love it every time I go there- and it reminds me that no matter what we believe- we are a great country.

A stop in Pittsburgh for the country's best sandwichs! Primanti Bros- been featured on FoodNetwork and Man vs. Food- soooo yummy

A LARGE sandwich- meat, coleslaw, and fries- the American way!

To the Capital! Rick showin' it who's boss.

Inside the Capital dome- so beautiful!


I've become obsessed with our new camera- so Rick gets our old little point-and-shot to show proof that I was there

Rick's first time on Capital Hill


Two nerds in DC? To the Library of Congress!

Sorry this is a bit blurry- but we weren't supposed to photograph the Gutenberg Bible so I had to take this really fast (note I didn't actually photograph the bible itself- I'm not destroying history)


In front of the Senate

World War II Memorial


Washington Monument

Good 'Ole Abe




The White House

Air and Space Museum

Vietnam Memorial- this is my favorite memorial- the symbolism of the high polished stone to reflect yourself in to the names of the deceased.


Arlington National Cemetery

JFK Memorial


Appropriate ending to a wonderful trip- the DC Temple
