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.

Top Signs I Need A Vacation!!!!

So many of you know me and my sisters and some cousins are going on a trip to washington DC! Well it has just hit me this week that I need that vacation BADLY and hopefully all my problems and stress can be solved. The sound of getting away from that blasted pool for 4 HACKIN DAYS sounds AMAZING!!! Well i have discovered some signs of me needing a vacation... to start with, I wear this appearel EVERY DAY OF MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!!!!

Look comfy right? Well it's NOT!!!!! Swimsuits (especially female suits) are not the most comfortable to sit in for 9-10 hours a day. Then i get home and am so tired that i wake up the next day just in time for work that i put on... you guessed it, none other then my lifeguard clothes. So for the past weeks, i have been living in a suit and PJ's... see! Look at my laundry basket!!! Nothin but PJ's!!!!And my phone of course, because i was too tired to pick it up when i took the picture

But ya know? Beyond all the stress and anger, there is one happy thing to look at... and that is my beautifully damaged skin that has changed races.... see for yourself!!! Isn't it so beautifully sun damaged?

To make a long story short, the overdosages of cholrine and vitamin D have turned me completely MAD I tell you!!!!!! MAD!!!!!!

So, (this is my personal therapy) NATALIE, you are 3 Days away from vacation! Vacation from the stupid pool! Vacation from stupid People at the Pool who make you yell and test your patience! A vacation from LIFE... ok ok, to make a long story short, A VACATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!!! You can make it Natalie!
