Our Anniversary Trip

To celebrate our anniversary this year we decided to take a trip to visit Lamont's brother Alan and his family in Baltimore. This was a perfect excuse to visit Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York city at the same time. I have never been back east before, so this was a big eye opener to me, especially New York. My parents and sisters were so great to watch the boys for us so that we could enjoy time with one another and see all the sights. We dropped the boys off in Salt Lake and even got in a little family there before we flew off.



We went to D.C. first and hit it hard. D.C. is such a great city and there is so much to learn there about American history. It just amazing to be there. Unfortunatly it was raining the first day there, but the next two were beautiful. We saw so many museums, and thanks to Lamont's cousin Gordon we had tours at the White House and Capitol. We loved seeing all the monuments as well, even though by the end I thought my legs were going to fall off. We also had a great time visiting with Alan and Bonnie and their cute kids.








It was then onto NYC by way of Philadelphia. That was an awesome city and not at all what I expected. Everything was so close and quaint. We were able to see the Liberty Bell and even enjoyed a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich for lunch.



NYC was crazy! We took in a lot of site-seeing, we saw Mary Poppins on broadway which was excellent,and even ran into Mariah Carey at the Empire State Building. We also took the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and went up to the pedestal.





We had such a great time together and the boys had such a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. I think it was a great get-away for not only us but the boys too. I guess that means we'll have to do it again sometime!
