Wow, what a trip! I feel like it was a whirlwind of going here and there, seeing all that there is to see in that area. We didn't even scratch the surface!
We have seen Yorktown, Williamsburg, the outside of Jamestown (it closed before we could make it) Virginia Beach, a few Army posts, and one Marine Post (not on purpose).
Made a million wrong turns, and almost wet my pants several times with laughter.
Perhaps my favorite day was our last, which we spent in DC. We took a hop on hop off tour bus around DC We saw the National Archives, The Smithsonian (Museum of history) (the hope diamond was in there wooooo hooooo ) Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial (very awesome!!!!! ) The White house of Course, the Department of Engraving (Loads of money there)Union Station, Thomas Jefferson Memorial. I think that was it. Whew!!! my calves hurt.
We didn't get to go see Arrlington because we ran out of time. I would have loved to see more but alas, I guess we will just have to go back.
The trip home however wasn't as fun :0) Woke up at 3:45 DC time, cab arrived at 4:50 and was off to catch the 8:00 flight out of DC. My Aunt stayed for a wedding up in Pennsylvania, so I was on my own. Made the flight to Seattle fine and arrived in Seattle 5 hours later at 10:00am Pacific time. Tried to get on the 11:00 flight (got bumped) tried the 1:00 (got bumped) Had a sure fire plan to catch the flight into Lewiston and then on to Boise at 2:30....... I got on!!!! yea.... oh wait..... Landed in Lewiston with mechanical problems so had to unload the plane. Didn't look like I was going to make it out of there. But thanks to a mechanic that was flown in from Boise we made it to Boise at 9:30pm Mountain time. WHAT A LONG DAY!!!!! It was wonderful to see the kids... Man I missed them... Tomorrow we get to go and get Christian from Montana YEA!!!!
I wanted to say thanks to my Aunt Sue.... She is just about the funnest Aunt out there and she was able to fly me there on a buddy pass. If I had to take anyone with me for a fun trip besides John of course I would pick her. She was a hoot... full of fun and laughter. I'll miss ya this week.
John comes home in Four weeks... The countdown begins! Can't wait to have him home. We are planning on lots of camping and fun with the kids this summer to make up for all the lost time.

These lambs know where sweetness is
Christian took us down to the sheep shed to show us all the bumb lambs were. Megan really enjoyed having them flock to her.
I think they are hungry
When Megan put her fingers out they ran to her hoping that her little fingers were full of milk.... no such luck!
I think Christian had a good time on the ranch
Christian took us on a tour of the sheep shed.. He explained to us what all the sheds were used for and how they gave birth... the whole works.. We even learned how the skin a sheep bluck!
