Trip to DC

On October 15th we drove up to DC and took the subway (or sub as RJ likes to call it) to the National Mall where we saw the Lincoln Memorial, The World War II Memorial and the Washington Monument. Jared had seen these before and really wanted to see them lit up in the dark. This was the first trip for the rest of the family. And we had a blast. We are looking forward to seeing them again in the day light as well as the capital building.

This is part of the Word War II Memorial. It is a beautiful Memorial in between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. RJ enjoyed walking around and reading all the state names on the pillars.

It was a long day. This is Savannah trying her hardest to stay awake as we waited for the "Sub"

The next morning, we headed over to the Washington DC temple to do some service work. The youth from our stake were helping to put up Christmas lights and the children and their parents walked the grounds collecting bits of litter. The kids did very well helping to beautify the temple grounds. We also enjoyed some time in the visitor center.
