WASHINGTON DC!

So many of you know that i just got back from washington DC! I have now found some time to blog about it!! Let me just say that it was a freakin blast!!! Thanks to the Aunt Judy and the Cousin Haley for planning an awesome trip. I am just going to share s0me of my favorite memories.
My favorite place was Arlington National Cememtary. It was very peaceful, sombering, and moving to see all those graves of the men who served our country. The changing of the guard at the tomb of the Unknown soldier was amazing too! It was just so cool! Here are a few pictures. I also thought the White House was really neat. And the security guards stationed outside the White House were SOOOOOO Handsome. Sadly, they are not allowed to take pictures with innocent Utah Girls. (I DID NOT ASK TO GET MY PICTURE TAKEN WITH ONE). I don't care what your political views are but that night we walked around the white hosue, Obama was in town... so we were soo close to the president!!
Another memory is the Airplane ride! For one thing, it was my first ever airplane ride! It was so fun!! Take off and Landing were fun but everything else was pretty boring. I did get a diet coke and a litttle peanut and some cookies... hehehehe. The craziest part of the airplane was our journey home. We got stranded on the DC airport tarmat for 2 HOURS!!! WE were getting so far behind schedule. We thought we were going to get stranded in Atlanta (where our lay over was) but the lucky thing was... THe flight attendants on the flight from DC to atlanta were the same ones scheduled from atlanta to SLC! SO the flight was delayed to SLC and we made it home at 3:30 AM! Yahoo!!
Oh the great memories..... I could write a post forever... But i am just going to end with some final pictures of the cousins! I think we are definately closer as cousins!! We are already hoping for another possible trip next summer!!! Here are some final pictures.
