BB&T in town and fun in DC

I made Banana Bread. First time ever. It was simple, easy, and SOOOOOOOOO good.

Friends, Becca and Bryan are visiting as they pass through DC on a big summer adventure. I love it when people come to visit because it gets us into the city--monuments, art, adventure, billions of hours of walking, etc.

White House

World War II Monument. This is an emotion one.

Washington Monument is always there.

Taking a walk

Yahoo! The Lincoln Memorial! I'd been before but not since we moved here. It reminded me of Hercules so much---when he goes to see his father in the temple....I can go the distance...

Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his speech here.

Lincoln and Collin

Gettysburg address. Huge! And this was only half!

CRAZIEST SQUIRREL YET!!!

Hanging from his hind legs!!

Walk around Tidal Basin to the Jefferson Memorial

Roosevelt, himself.

This means a lot to me. It is beautiful.

Creepy elevator

NEXT DAY!

Here we saw the amazing work of Edward Muybridge. It was incredible!!!! No photos were allowed.

Collin loved this sculpture. Me too.

Then we met up with B&B at the American Art Gallery to see an amazing Norman Rockwell Exhibit, and hear an orchestra play John Williams songs. My dreams come true.

Again, no pictures were allowed of the Norman Rockwell stuff, but it was just awesome.

This is cool:

We made Tikka Masala! SOOOO perfectly delicious!!!
