What else we've been up to...

Our Summer back East is quickly coming to an end, but we have had an awesome time and below are just a few things we have being doing to occupy our time...

DC

Museum of Natural History

Museum of American History

Michelle Obama's inauguration dress...

Aerospace Museum

White House


They really don't let you get too close..completely surrounded by gates and security

Crab cakes and football...that's what Maryland does!

ok so I guess we just had crab, (although Shawn has tried crab cakes twice out here) this was purely crab but the real true Maryland Blue Crab experience where they dump the whole thing directly on your table and give you a mallet. Lauryn and Bry both really enjoyed the smashing part but it only Lauryn appreciated the taste.

Annapolis & United States Naval Academy



And of course it is not summertime with out baseball games and hotdogs.

Wow!!

I have heard a lot about this floating temple since I got out here, I couldn't quite get what people were saying so I of course had to check it out for myself. Shawn and I drove down to find it a few Sunday's ago and as we were driving along down the busy freeway I suddenly looked up to find... the "floating temple". Immediately I knew what everyone meant.
You cannot tell due to the poor night time abilities of my camera,but that is exactly how it appears... glowing, floating above everything else.
Beautiful, Amazing, WOW! (no wonder there are so many car accidents :)
Brylie was immediately in love as well because it looked like something that popped out of one of her fairy tales. She loved walking around the grounds to stare up at it and could not stop asking questions.
"Mommy, why does Jesus close his castle at night time?"
"If we come back tomorrow can we go inside and visit him?"
"Mommy I want to see where Jesus's bed is."
I am not very well equipped to answer her many questions, but I do love how her mind works. :)
