And then you grow up...

And you find yourself loving and appreciating your parents more and more every day.

And you realize that whole thing about family being the most important thing, is true.

Waterfront in Alexandria

Benny doin his thang. 

Giving us a V.I.P tour of the capitol.

Monticello.

If you are ever in VA, go here!

I promise you it will be worth every one of your pennies.

Jefferson is the man.

And his estate...WOW.

500 acres of breathe taking beauty

Tree huggin

Some of his vineyards...gorgeous! I want to do a photo shoot SO BAD in this very spot, it was unreal.

PS- My dad took this picture with the intent of being 'artistic' with that big old leaf in the front.

What do you say, was it a success??? :)

Dying over his gardens

Mommer thinking...just like Jefferson...right there in his special thinking booth :)

Williamsburg: Round 2

Thank you Mom and Dad for dropping everything, and flying out to DC (unplanned, and within 24 hours). The walking, talking, learning, eating and mostly the laughing is all I could have asked for. Love you to the stars and back.
