Washington DC, Part One

This is a really long post of pictures! Oh well. I'm going to have to split this in to two posts there are so many!
This is at the Lincoln Memorial looking towards the reflecting pond. 


Thomas Jefferson

The columns are unreal. So pretty. 


Katie!







College besties. 

We're goofballs and we know it.  I have so much fun with this girl, she's the best!



In front of Abe. 

Don't mind the people behind us, there were so many people there
it was impossible to just get us in a shot. 



The Emancipation Proclamation



"JENN-AY!!...FOREST!!" HaHa...

The Korean Memorial

The WWII Memorial

Katie representing MN at the WWII Memorial





All the states have their own spot around the fountain, it's really pretty.  It was a beautiful day!

Virginia!




In front of the Jefferson--so pretty


Hello White House!



The old gal is getting a facelift--from earthquake damage that happened
a while ago, so you can see all the scaffolding. 




Katie is on the left if you can spot her!



The Library of Congress






Walking through Dupont Circle looking for a chocolate shop, we never found it. Hmph. 
Pretty neighborhoods.
We had such a fun time!

Katie and Sandy in DC

I made a little video of our stay in DC. It was so fun to be there with Katie. You won't find a cuter video than this... Haha. Most of this was done in Alexandria/Georgetown.  I'll post pictures soon.

Happy Mother's Day, Part 2

I made another video, from pictures I took in Carpinteria last summer. I just didn't get it posted on Mother's Day. But, enjoy. Song by Michael Dowdle

California Trip

First stop off the plane, the beach. 70 degrees that day! Yes.

Cousins at play.














Not a cloud in the sky.



Serious sand castle building going on.


Nate wanted to go on Ryan's boogie board.


Next day, San Francisco! 

Alcatraz behind us.

Spring was in bloom, definitely not happening back home!

All the seals laying in the sunshine.


View of the city.


Beautiful clear skies that day. 


Naters at the bridge.

How cute are these pictures of him.

All wrapped up in his moose blanket.




Attempting a family pic.  AJ nowhere near the camera :)


Riding the train at the Sacramento Zoo.

I think Nate got a little scared.

And tried to escape.


Rawrrr.


I think this was Nate's favorite, a lifesized dump trunk to play on.

Next--the funny picture boards. Jody's turn!

Now Nate.


Peek A Boo.




Nate driving.


AJ takes over.

And another attempt at a picture of all of us. Took a few tries. 


Oops AJ couldn't wait for the timer. 

And now AJ is mad. Haha.













Ice cream with Aunt Debbie in JapanTown.  Don't think Deb got any of that ice cream.


And maybe I let him have some brownie batter when I made brownies for Jody's bday. 

Just a little bit. Ha.
