February 13th

Yesterday started off with Kaitlyn waking up super early because she was so excited that her field trip was that day.  She had been anticipating it all week!  The play was awesome!  The play we saw was Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters.  It was so fun to be able to go with her class and see how excited the kids were!  The way back to school they were singing some of the songs from the play.

We topped off the day with a date to the Melting Pot.  Words cannot describe the goodness that we had there.  It was definitely a treat to be able to go.  Ryan and I were celebrating our 10th anniversary of when he proposed to me and Valentines.  I can't believe that ten years has flown by!  I feel so blessed to be married to my prince charming and look forward to many more years!  Our wonderful friends Stacy and Matt joined us for dinner.  We look forward to our monthly date nights with them!!

Day 4 of Our Trip

We started out our day with going to a parade near my parent's house and then headed over to Five Guys for lunch.  They have the best burgers!  One of our definite highlights!  Then we headed over to D.C. to see some of the outdoor monuments.    

Vietnam Memorial

Lincoln Memorial

Reflecting Pool

Korean War Memorial

Day 2 of Our Trip

The next day was our prep day for thanksgiving.  My Dad, Ryan and the kids raked leaves while Mom and I made pies.  We went out for a scrumptious lunch at The Tortilla Factory.  That evening our friends the Thompsons arrived!!  The kids were in heaven!  The kids just went right to playing like when we lived close.
