roadtrip to dc

loved having j with me during the short trip to dc

we realized that this is our 3rd time going to dc since we've known eachother.

it's fun being so close to it.

the family had to get ready for the wedding, so we had a perfect morning/afternoon with mom and dad downtown. what a treat:) it had been almost a year since j had seen his in-laws. we throughly enjoyed every second.

my dad's so tough..

mom and i right outside the hotel we were staying at, loved that you walked right out to the subway!

sure love these men.

had to capture my favorite part of this muesuem! the peacock!

this piece of art reminded me of a zebra:)

i loved seeing them catch up. just loved it!

found a frozen yogurt stand! mom dropped a rasberry, and we teased that she wasted a dollar because it was so expensive.

loved seeing the beautiful, vibrant flowers!

haha. j's face says it all. what a good sport! ha ha

loved this part of the gardens, cactus makes me feel at home. maybe i should plant some in front of our home in ohio??

we loved the library of congress, j wanted to move in!

love this shot.

love her.

oh so pretty.

cutest parents. dad just had to take the picture while holding mom.

coolest dragon statue

love holding hands and enjoying the beauty life has to offer.

haha. this picture cracks me up, guess we were in our own little world waiting for the subway.

one of our favorites!

j doing what he does best, playing with my hair.

beth had childhood memories at echo park, where the wedding was held. it was so charming!

loved seeing meg! it had been way too long! she spoiled me with jewlery for my birthday!

beth made all the streamers! love all the handmade details!

loved dancing, j is not a fan of dancing so my dad willingly stepped in. loved dancing with my dad since i was a little girl. 

however j did do the jewish dance, we had so much fun:)

we seriously danced for at least 2 hours! grandma was the cutest on uncle jeremy, they were the life of the party!

happy wedding justin and beth, here's to a happy future filled with love and commitment!
