Spring Break

 

Road Trip to Kirtland, OH then to Gettysburg, PA and ending in Wahington, DC

 

 At the Johnson Farm where section 76 of the Doctrine and Covenants was received.

 We woke up to this in Gettysburg. 

 We arrived in Washington DC at the same time as most of the 8th graders in the country were on their history field trips.  It was also Cherry Blossom festival, although none of the trees were blooming yet, Spring Break for a large number of people, and a week of controversial Supreme Court cases.  So, there were a ton of people!!!

 Taking the metro with a wheelchair is quite an experince.  I took this picture on an empty ride, which only happened once.

 The Jefferson Memorial at night is such a beautiful sight.

 What a treat - the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknwn Soldier - then the surprise of the playing of "Taps".  Rachel's bonus of the trip...

 We made sure we were back at the hotel computer in time for Rachel to sign up for her housing next year at BYU.

 The Washington DC temple is so majestic - the kids had a special experience doing baptisms.

 Twinners with FDR.

 3 of us like to know where we are on the map  - Megan and Rachel just go where we lead them!

 The White House as close as you can get to it right now.

The college basketball games were going on here - just down the street.  Megan was quite upset we wouldn't dish out the money for her to go to a game.
