g'morning

On beech mountain this morning and feeling all emotions. This was one of Poppa Dale's favorite views. Lovely, no?

Hello, DC!

For Labor Day weekend, Eric, his mom and I trucked up to Washington, DC for his cousin's wedding. On Sunday, Eric and I struck off on a mini adventure through the capital! It was absolutely gorgeous outside, so we did a lot of walking. We ate lunch at the National Gallery of Art garden and then went into tourist mode...

Eric & I at the Lincoln Memorial

Abe is Eric's favorite president

Hanging out at the Washington Monument

He couldn't resist!

Yay America!

Beautiful view looking back toward the Capital!

Our trip to DC was perfect and we had so much fun being tourists! I fell in love with the city (though I could do without the traffic). My list of things to do and see grew ten-fold, so I am really looking forward to our next visit! I've heard visiting in the spring is best so you can catch all of the Cherry Blossoms in full-bloom. What's your favorite DC activity?

Bon voyage, baby sis!

My sister, Chesley Paige, departs today for her month-long summer adventure in Australia! My parents are taking her to California to help split up her long trip. They will spend a few days in San Diego, exploring the San Diego Zoo and Sea World (her favorite). Then she is off "Down Unda, mate!" As an aspiring marine biologist, a sophomore at UNC-Wilmington, she has plans to spend her time on the eastern coast doing mission work and research.

She has started her own blog to document her travels. Please visit and comment - I'm sure it will be a fantastic read!
