Here is a sloth toed bear...His name was Melvin.

This is Amanda - Amanda Panda that is.

Here is a giant panda.

Here is Haleys favorite, a cheetah.

Here is an african elephant. They are HUGE!

Haleys hand in an imprint of a T-Rex handprint

This was the Botanical Gardens building (which was also free) by the Capital Building, we were not even going to go and see this but we had to use a bathroom, glad we did have to pee because this was amazing. I would highly recommend seeing this if you ever go to DC. Great photos.

Tropical Plants

This place smelled amazing.

This was a neat looking flowering plant. I wish I would have had time to see all the names of the plants I liked. Amanda had an itinerary, and this was not on it. ;)

Just some photos I snapped while walking from destination to destination.

The White House, with some very good looking Secret Service guys. And they were very friendly...Not great with directions, but nice looking so that makes up for the lack of direction giving. ;) My sister has those pictures. I will make sure to post them.

All three of us.

This picture is one of my favorites of the trip...I didnt even realize that My little sister Haley was sitting in front of the water display at the WWII Memorial with the Lincoln Memorial in the background.

Here is all 3 of us in front of the Capital Building.

WWII Memorial

More random...Arent these doors neat looking?

Washington Monument with the Capital Building behind.

WWII Monument - Sorry they are out of order.

Vietnam Memorial Wall

Air Force Pics for the Hubby.

Vietnam Statues.

Lincoln Memorial - This is a must see. So huge!

Korean War Memorial - FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

I love this wall- This is part of the Korean War Memorial.

At night lit up - It is such a breathtaking place. Everywhere you look there are amazing things to see. This is the WWII Memorial with the Lincoln Memorial behind.

Downtown China Town - When you get off the Metro you see this arch. It really smells like China!

Funny story: My Sister turned around in front of one of the restaurants to see a HUGE RAT running from a building to an alley. We decided to eat McDonalds that night.

It was neat to see...But the weirdos definatley do come out at night in China Town.

Thanks for looking! If you ever visit DC, make sure you bring comfortable shoes. There was ALOT of walking. It is definatley something that I am thankful to have see in my lifetime.

Washington DC

Today my sisters and I are on our way to DC...I will be posting pictures and blogging about what we do...I have never been there so if there is anything that you suggest seeing while we are there please let me know!

One Flaw In Women

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Please pass this along to all yourwomen friends and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are.

Back in Middlebury

I am in Middlebury this weekend. My parents are going out of town so I am going to babysit my little brother and sister. I am trying to think of something fun to do with the both of them because Mitchell is almost 2 and Haley is 9? Hmmm I will get back to you on that one. Breakfast sounds good for now.

My dog in Hollywood!

This is my dog Henry when he was a pup! Adam photoshopped this photo! I thought that it was cute enough to share with you all.

I'm only happy when it rains!

For some reason I love it when it is rainy outside. I love a good thunderstorm. We used to get massive storms in Virginia. In Indiana today it is just gloomy and rainy. The boys just love playing in the rain and getting muddy and tracking their dirty mud paw prints on the floor. I wish they would learn how to wipe their feet on the entry rug.

I need to get some laundry and house cleaning done. I have a mile long list of things to do.

Adam the hubby got his application and VA GI Bill paperwork done today to start school at Liberty University. We are getting excited!

Well I am off to get caught up on that list! Woo Hoo, what fun...where is Mary Poppins when you need her! ;)
