Good Times in DC!

My dad and brother made a quick trip out to DC this past week. It was great to spend time with them! They were able to see lots of sites during their brief visit, from kayaking on the Potomac, to taking the Chinatown bus to NYC...what an adventure! :) Another highlight of the trip was to go through a session in the Washington DC Temple together.
Here are the mighty kayakers, ready to cruise the Potomac!
Sites of the monuments in the background. (I must say that I was a bit jealous I couldn't participate in this outing.)









Here's dad checking out the scenery and lovin' it! :)






They made it to NYC! Here they are waiting to get into the David Letterman Show!









Bull at the Letterman Show and Dad at the Stock Exchange.












Enjoying the excitement at the Rockefeller Center!
No better way to end the night than to go to the top of the Empire State Building. Here you will see an excited Dad as he peers his head out the bars to check it all out! One happy guy! (Glad you caught this moment on camera Spein.)













Spencer and Dad enjoyed a wonderful session in the Manhattan Temple.

While Dad and Spein were in NYC, I decided to take a nice morning walk on the trail near our house. Well, in my attempts to enjoy a lovely walk on the trail, I managed to blow the tire on our car. Since Brett was at work, I called my bro, Dave, and he and his friend, Eric, came to my rescue! Thanks guys! (Sorry you have to see me at my 'finest' with no make-up, ready to work-out, with a 9-month belly...oh well.)









Arlington Cemetery and the Iwo Jima Monument.














Brett, Dad and Spein at the National Cathedral and sites from the Washington Monument.
We took a trip to the National Zoo, only to find the animals were all asleep. This panda statue was about all we saw, expect for a very large hippo taking a bath. Dad is attempting to mimic the panda in this pic.:)
Thanks for a wonderful time!
