Washington, DC

We've taken so many pictures since Sophia was born that my computer wouldn't allow me to upload one more.  I finally backed up some old pictures and took them off the computer to free up space so I could upload our trip pictures so these posts come a little late.

The last week of August Trey and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary.  I noticed the week before that our anniversary fell close to the Labor Day weekend so in a spontaneous last minute decision we decided to hit the road and planned a fun trip to a place Trey had been saying he wanted to visit.  Little did we know that we would be visiting DC on one their hottest weekends this year and Sophia would cut another tooth while we were there - yea that was fun... not!  But all in all despite the heat, our poor baby's melt down in the National Archives from her little tooth, and the Dawgs loosing to those little cats in South Carolina that weekend, we had such a good time!

We flew up Friday afternoon and were non stop for two and half days straight.  It makes me laugh to look at some of the pictures we took because Sophia was asleep a lot of the time in front of some of our nation's most famous landmarks.  She obviously won't remember the trip but at least we have proof we took her ;)  We'll definitely have to go back one day because there is just so much history there and so much to do.  It's such a fun city and it's neat how you can get into every place for free!  Guess our tax dollars finally paid off.

The US Capitol 

impressive from every angle

such an impressive dome in the Capitol Rotunda

From the Capitol it was off to the Library of Congress
