... a few Washington, DC pictures from our family vacation this summer. Please be aware that this is a long post, but hope you will enjoy the pictures. We had so much fun this July, that me, a friend of mine from work, our daughter and Jared's girlfriend Brie is going again in February. I am so looking forward to going back because I just fell in love with that place. I am such a huge history buff and this place is just wonderful. I hope you enjoy these pictures (I have so many more and it was so difficult to pick just these - I may even post more at a later date). My next post is going to be pictures of my trip with my friend Debbie to the scrapbook convention we attended in Charlotte, NC this past August (I have been promising Leigh that I would do this and am finally getting them up after I pick out the good ones), so be on the look out for that.

Thank you thank you for sharing Janet. I love the photos. I've recently read about your Tomb of the Unknowns and it certainly puts a lot of things into perspective. I felt that way when I visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Janet, what gorgeous pictures. My daughter who lives over there went to Washington and also loved the place. Jill x

Janet,
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures! It looks like everyone had a great time (including the history buff).
Wow!!! These are fabulous photos, Janet! Some of them even look like they could be made into postcards! Looks like you saw a lot more than I got to when I was there. It would take weeks to see everything! Thanks so much for sharing!
