D to the C (Warning, lots of pictures!)

Ethan and I had the amazing opportunity to go to Washington D.C for 4 days to visit my sister. We all had a blast together and it was fun to see the sites and especially spend time with my brother and sister. Here are some pictures...

With tomorrow being the 4th of July I am so grateful for this wonderful country I live in. I loved learning more about the history of the country and being able to see it first hand. The founding fathers truly were inspired when they wrote the Declaration of Independence (I got to see the original copy, but pictures weren't allowed). I love this country! God Bless America.
