Last Thursday, Joe and I had the opportunity to go to Washington D.C. and visit the temple. Going to the temple frequently has been a little difficult for us. Joe usually has Sundays and Mondays off, and the temple is closed both of those days. He finally had a Thursday off and I happened to have it off too. We decided it would be the perfect day to go. We were a little apprehensive about going because the weather was going to be crummy. We decided that we should go anyway. Who knows when another opportunity like this would come again.
We had such a great time! The temple was wonderful. It was our first time doing endowments in the D.C. temple. If you live near a temple, don't take it for granted!!! We are so blessed to have temples all around the world. Here are some pictures we took. After the temple, we took the metro to the city. We walked around the Smithsonian American History museum, the Washington Monument, and the Capital building. Hopefully we will be able to make another trip soon!
In December we made a trip to Colonial Williamsburg. We never posted the pictures, so here there are. It was such a great day.... cold...but great. It is so neat to see how people lived in the 1700's. We live in such a historically rich state!
