Washington DC

Eating at Five Guys Burgers and Fries (the first of MANY times Mmmmmm!)
These next few pictures are at the Museum of Natural History

Sitting on a bench resting at "The Mall" . I was really confused when everyone was talking about the mall but I didn't see one to shop at......then I realized it was the long strip of park by all the memorials. :)

Washington Memorial

Here we are with a bunch of other tourists at the front of the White House. I honestly thought the White House was way bigger than this! It looks huge in pictures but in person I didn't think it was that big (of course I didn't go inside though!)

Aunt Tiffany, Uncle Daniel and their cute kids! We had a blast hanging out with them!

I took this picture when we were on the top of the old post office tower.

This is my favorite picture. The Washington Monument again...this time on the opposite side taken from the war memorial.

The Lincoln Monument. It was beautiful and to get to the top you have to climb a million stairs. It was actually a long walk from the Washington Monument and an even farther walk back to the hotel!

Monte and Katie by the horse policeman. The horses were so tall. Monte was a good sport carrying Katie on his shoulders.....ahhh to be a kid again!

View of the White house at the TOP of the Washington Monument

Dad got up really early on Monday morning and walked all the way to the monument so we could get tickets to ride the elevator to the top. It was amazing!

We had a great trip and especially enjoyed the Boise State Game! It was so fun to hang out with Tiffany and her family and also Aunt Julie, Uncle Mike and Jadan. Tiffany and I are both due in February so we had a great time talking about baby stuff :)

We also got to hang out with Rich and Zach Porter! We had not seen Zach since before his mission. We all went out to dinner on Friday night-it was great catching up!

Boise State - Virginia Tech Game

Riding the metro on the way to the game The sunset was beautiful just before the game started.

We sat 1 row from the very top, but the view was still great

We were losing at this point of the game and Dad DID NOT want me to take his picture

After the game celebrating our VICTORY! We had such a great time a the game. Monte lost his voice before the first quarter was over. We were in a section with some BSU fans but I could not believe how many and how loud the VT fans were. It was so loud with them yelling and shaking their keys on 3rd down for Boise. There were 86,000 people in the stadium-It was insane!

Definitely a game to remember
