Happy Independence Day!

This year our family (along with the rest of the country it would seem) got to have the privilege of celebrating our nations independence in Washington, DC (it was hot). Can you even imagine a more awesome (or hotter) place to be for July 4th? There was music and dancing in the streets, there were picnickers, there were ice cream trucks (because it was so hot). The fireworks were brilliant and abundant over the Washington Monument. And the Metro back to our hotel? It was crowded. And hot. Have I mentioned that? Ok, so yeah, we went to DC in July in the middle of a heat wave, but July fourth in the nations Capitol was worth it.
