So much to say...

Man I have A LOT to say...
But, in short

WE LOVE IT HERE!!! (DC). 

I have about a 5 page long list of why
But I think you will be able to get the picture through our pictures :)

Why I love these two pictures below
1. I am in my FAVORITE store in the whole world...any takers?
You guessed it, anthropology. 
If I could be locked in one store for a year it would be the anthropology in georgetown, d.c. 
2. This pretty much describes how we feel for a variety of reasons ;)
3. I probably don't have to explain. 


Benny's first day! Getting ready to head up to the hill on the metro
I love this picture. 
I'll be honest, I am a little bit...okay maybe really, jealous of him. 
I love what a wonderful experience he is having. 
When he comes home and tells me all of the fun assignments he get's to do every day I about die. Such a special, unique, experience! 
And, this one.
So Ben. 
Trying on his spiffy new suit. 

I am in love with the feeling here.
That feeling where I know there is something so much larger than life that happened in the very places I'm walking. 
The feeling of freedom, strength, and the spirit of the great men who founded our country. 



Annapolis, Maryland. 
Navy town. 
Lovely town. 



Mannassas, Virginia 
Where the civil war began. 

The one and only Ben's Chili Bowl. 
Good and greasy. 
This is one hoppin place!
We had some good chili hot dogs, chili cheese fries, chili by itself, and...
red velvet cake. haha. Probably not my healthiest day yet, but it was good. 
And now I can say I'm cool because I eat where the big O ate...right? :) 
 
Cutest little ice cream shop
So fun chillin listening to the sweet little jazz band serenade us with some snazzy music. 

And yes, I get to watch these kiddos 4 times a week.
I'm really not kidding, they are seriously that cute.
I almost died when I saw them. So fun. 
We have a lot of dance parties. They love it. 
. 


Ma and Pa Cberry.
So fun to have them come visit us. 
Nations Botanical Garden
Pretty sure I wanted to live off the land and run through the forest after I went through this little exhibit. It was so cool. 
Ben smelling some spices. 

While Russ and Kash were here they treated us to way too many dinners, lunches, breakfasts, and desserts. We are too spoiled. One night we met up with kimi and charly and ate at a yummy little mexican restaurant.
