Illinois and Washington DC

We are home now from our 12 day trip to Illinois and Washington DC. We had a wonderful time but are also glad to be home. Our first stop was Illinois to visit the Fifhause family, including meeting our nieces, Addison and Chloe, for the first time. Unfortunately Chloe had to have more surgery right before we visited so our time with her, Mike, and Lyndzie was short but we were able to watch Addison for them and spent great quality time with her. On the day we were to leave Illinois Chloe was released from the hospital, we got to see and hold her at home for a few minutes before we took off for the second adventure of our trip.


The second adventure of our trip was to Washington DC area, both to sight see and to attend Jacob's cousins (Kelly) ceremony to renew her wedding vows with her husband Jason. Leanna, Al, and Anna also joined us for this part of the trip, Jaden thoroughly enjoyed seeing his grandparents and Aunt Anna. I had never been to Washington DC so had a wonderful time taking in all of the monuments, significant buildings, National Zoo, and museums, lots of history surrounds the area. I know these pictures are pretty small and only a few, if you wish to see more head over to Jacob's photo gallery (link is on my blog list, click on his name not the Washington DC part, this will take you to the home page) pictures are located under the Fall 2009 heading and the Washington DC heading.
