Our trip to Washington DC

We went to Washington DC on May 15 and 16th with our friends the Daniel Family. We went so I could do a 5k Race (sorry no picture, I ran it all by myself and I did not want to carry the camera) We also wanted to go to the temple. While we were there we thought we would see some of the many sights! We are planning on going back to see more... seriously you need a good 2 weeks to try and see it all. So if any of you want to come visit we can go, it is sooo much fun I love it!
