Labor Day Weekend

This is what happens when I go into a paper/supply/writing store.

National Symphony Orchestra Labor Day Concert

Wandering around Georgetown University with Julie

We drove up to Valley Forge, PA early Saturday morning and enjoyed the beautiful weather and the spirit of the place. These are the little barracks where the Continental Army soldiers stayed during that winter.

I think soldiers today are slightly more comfortable.

I took this one for you, Dad. Can you tell me what scripture that is? This is a test.

What a beautiful place!

Requirements to be in General Washington's guard detail.

Then we drove a few minutes over to Philadelphia. We were told that the "O" is crooked because love is not perfect.

Of course we stopped by the Rocky steps and statue

One of Julie's brothers is affectionately known as "Moose" because he is bigger than the other brothers, who are by no means small.

We had Philly cheesesteaks at Sonny's

This is the "before" picture. Julie's stomach didn't like the cheesesteak as much as her taste buds did.

Here we are at a Washington Redskins game. There's a funny story of how we got our parking pass for the game, but it's too long to tell here, and I need to use my hands and my voice to tell it, so ask me about it later. :)

This wasn't Labor Day weekend, but I didn't want to create a separate post for it. A couple of weeks ago we drove down to Williamsburg. We devoured a delicious meal at this BBQ joint.

They just opened the MLK Jr. monument near the Lincoln Memorial
