Okay, I'm playing catch up with my blog posts today. Our East Coast vacation strangely coincided with hurricane Sandy. We were still able to do a lot, though. It only slowed us down in Philadelphia and made us cut New York out of our trip (Boo!) But we took some great pictures (about 1000 of course) but here are the highlights (the bare bones of the trip):
Virginia
Aaron and I with Thomas Jefferson at Monticello.
St. John's Episcopal Church in Richmond, VA where Patrick Henry gave his famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. Look at the leaves on the trees. I was so excited!!
Jefferson's home, Monticello. Gorgeous!
Love, love, love!! It was a dream of mine to visit this home ever since I learned about it in the 5th grade
George Washington's Home (Mt. Vernon) was equally as beautiful and had more open grounds
Me and George
The White House back lawn
The Capitol Building
Aaron found the IRS building (of course)
A little Night at the Museum anyone?

I had to take one for the team with my creepy stare, because this is a beautiful picture of us in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
Up close and personal with the Lincoln Memorial. A-maz-ing!!!
