D.C.

So I have been procrastinating to write a new blog because so much has happened since the last one that I was feeling a little bit overwhelmed. So I am just going to skip ahead to the honeymoon! The wedding was so much fun...best day ever! Everything went perfectly and I absolutely loved it! We got to DC just in time for the fourth of July and so we went into town early to watch a parade. Then we went to a few of the museums and ate dinner while we waited for the fireworks to start. We almost gave up on the fireworks because it was raining like crazy but this lady talked us in to waiting it out and luckily the rain stopped just in time! The show was amazing! It was the longest and biggest fireworks show I have ever seen! This was definitely my favorite fourth of July! The next day we got up early to go to the DC temple. I was seriously shocked when I saw it poking through the trees, it is the biggest temple I have ever seen and it is gorgeous!! This was my favorite part of our trip because every other activity we were pretty stressed about making it on time and going to the right place, and even though we were late for the session we had planned on going to it was great to be able to sit and calm down and relax. I now know why people take relaxing honeymoons because its too stressful being in charge of a busy trip for your first trip, even finding a restaurant to eat at gave us stress! After the temple we went to Arlington Cemetary and it was huge! Jake was fascinated by the tomb of the unknown soldier we stayed and watched the guards march around forever! Then we went to this Showboat play and dinner buffet. It was fun, there was only old people there so we felt a little bit out of place but we liked it. Sunday was our last day there and so we went on a trolley tour that dropped us off at all of the major sites you must see in DC. We saw most of the major things like the Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, White House, Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Union Station, Portrait Museum, World War 1 and 2 Memorial sites, Washington Monument- Jake loved the Washington Monument we seriously have about 20 pictures just of the monument from around the city! and the Smithsonians, and other historical things I had no idea even existed, but what we both really wanted to see while we were in DC was the Holocaust Musuem amd by the time we made our way over there they told us we were 45 minutes too late! They had ran out of tickets to take to tour. So we were only able to look around a couple of rooms that really just made us more bitter that we could not see the whole musuem. Then we decided we wanted to go up in this bell tower that was would show us the skyview of the whole city. On our way there we spot a Ben & Jerry's ice cream so of course we have to stop and we just relax for a minute and by the time we walk over to the bell tower they tell us they closed 5 minutes ago! We about died! But we did have a ton of fun and we loved DC! And now we just have an excuse to go back because there are a lot of things we still need to see! Oh and I added these last two pictures just to point out that yes we are both mature enough to be married!!
