Our Trip To D.C.

Our family has had a busy last few weeks! We decided to take the fam to the nations capitol. Greg's brother Kent lives in D.C. so we decided to crash his basement for a week (which happens to be 10min. walking distance to the capitol!) It was a blast! It was so nice to have a local to show us around the city. Kent works for Senator Dole so he was a great source of information. He was also able to get us in on a tour of the White House and the Capitol. It was amazing! We were able to visit many of the monuments and museums as well. The kids weren't so into all the history just yet so we took a little road trip to Hershey Pennsylvania, oh ya that's what I'm screamin ... where the Hershey Chocolate factory is, and let the kids have a day at the Chocolate factory. It was very Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ish! They had the litte cars that looked like boats that took us through a tour of the factory and showed us how the choclates are made. It's a dream come true!!!!

One of my favorite things about the trip was getting to experience a a real fall! The leaves were absolutely amazing!!! The colors were just brilliant! Litterally breathtaking. It's one of those "God is amazing and so cool!" moments. You know He had to have so much fun making all those colors in the trees. Hmmm, he must have run out of color for Texas..... we came home to green and brown trees.... Anyway, if I continue writting I will have a Blovel and I swore I would not be a Blovel Blogger!

In Closing:
What a fabulous time with the family and thank you Kent for showing us around and letting us have your bed!!!
