Our Virginia Weekend with Mark and Stacy!!

After 5 years of meaning to visit Stacy and Mark in Virginia, we FINALLY made it! We had such a great time. We flew in late on Wednesday night and the next day we had massages...they felt so good! Then we went down to the beach and walked on the boardwalk and had lunch. It was really fun. It was so nice going to the beach as well, I could have stayed there all day long.

Matt and Mariah drove up from North Carolina to hang out and we all went out for fajitas...they were soo yummy!
Then we went up to Williamsburg and walked around...it was beautiful. And it was fun seeing the quaint town.
And us trying on these lovely hats.

After Williamsburg we went to the Outlets there and did some damage. Then we drove up to Washington...it was a fine drive until we ran into traffic...it was horrendous! We were stuck in it forever and finally decided to get off the freeway, we are so glad we did because we found out later that the freeway went down to one lane...ugh! We got to our hotel really, really late. We got up early to catch the metro...however it was the same day that a huge rally was happening and the metros were completely full of people with long waits. We decided to wait for awhile and went to the store and all of the boys found CPU's for their home theater PC's they're building. Needless to say, they were all excited =)
Matt and Mariah decided to leave after that as they had a long drive home. But we decided to try our luck in driving into D.C. The traffic was fine and we found a parking spot, so we bolted around to see as many sights as we could!
Here's the white house.
Then we went down to the WWII monument, we thought it was pretty cool.
Then we went up to the Lincoln monument, that was really cool.

I liked this pic of the Washington Monument with the flags around it.
And the capitol building.
Once we got back home we got some yummy breakfast at a local restaurant. It was so good! We decided to take the dogs with us because they are so fun!
Later that day we went to tour the aircraft carrier with Mark and Stacy. That was really cool.

These are some of the bunks, however this is the larger bunk areas, others are smaller
We got to go up to the wheelhouse and I became captain...for a moment...
And Kenny, my co-captain
And the wonderful family we hung out with!
Thanks so much for having us and for everything you did for us and all of the time you took out to spend with us! We had such a great time! Can't wait to come back:)
