Braxton Takes Washington!


While we were in Maryland at Amanda's wedding we got to go on a mini-vacation to Washington DC. Blake hadn't been since he was a kid. I've actually been there quite a few times just from visiting Amanda and from when I was in the Air Force. Amanda and Austin were kind enough to take us site seeing to some of the the hot spots. We also went to the Natural History Museum (with the dinosaurs) and the Holocaust Museum. We got to have a little picnic on the mall where Blake was obsessed with because of the Forrest Gump movie. We got to have dinner in Alexandria, Virginia and see where Austin proposed to Amanda. On the Sunday we were there, we went to church with Blake's cousin Jared and his family. They took us down to Georgetown which was so great. Jared and his wife, Val, have a little baby, Amy, about Braxton's age. So, they were introduced and really liked each other...it was cute! We had a great time! I love Washington DC! I was a political science major...so it is just neat to see where everything happens. There is still so much there we wish we could have seen. It was great to get away and spend some time with Blake and Brax.




Blake and Marlee - Marlee was in one of the wards Blake served in on his mission in Florida. She is now in our cousin Jared's ward...small world!

Braxton likes vacation!


Me, Brax, Amy, Jared, Val, Nicole, Blake
