Highlights.

My mother and brother, Sandy and Joseph Money came last week for their spring break. It was excellent. I love them so much. I've missed them so badly. We just hung out and were together. It was wonderful.

They had a very interesting start to the trip as their plane wing flaps malfunctioned and they had to make an emergency landing using the breaks only, FREAKY! haha, but they survived. THEN on the way home we got a flat tire! Sheesh! Collin and Joe put on the spare and once again, our trip continued.

 This was us in the Planetarium watching BLACK HOLES! It was pretty freaky and awesome to virtually go into space and through a black hole. Space is nuts, man. NUTS.

Our tour of the birth center. Loved it.

Probably the highlight of the week: visiting Mount Vernon:

George Washington's home.

We loved being there; it was so peaceful! We

loved learning about Washington and his family.

He had an incredible life and was such a humble man! 

It was pretty inspiring.

The tour of his mansion was AMAZING. 

We couldn't take pictures, and this was the only 

room I got to sneak a shot of. None of the walls 

were white. ALL color and all picked out by 

Washington himself. He would love our decorating! :)

But back to the tour...it was so intimate. 

We were right there in the rooms. They were just so cool. 

And even though it was pretty crowded, everyone

was really quiet & respectful, and I could feel an 

amazing spirit there. 

One of the greatest gifts that George Washington gave 

this country was to give up his power after after two terms,

establishing this from that point on so that no man would gain too 

much power. What a great man.

"I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord, he

that liveth in me, though he were dead, yet shall

he live' and whosoever liveth and believeth in me

shall never die." -Inscription from St John above

George and Martha Washington's tombs.

So peaceful.

It was St. Patrick's day and we went to 

lunch in downtown Alexandria at an Irish pub.

Fish and chips there were AMAZING. The 4

of us shared one and were stuffed!

 Then some shopping, and shamrock shakes 

(tradition for Joseph and me)

and home after a great long day.

Love you, Mom and Joseph. Collin, Monte and I had the best time with you and we miss you.
See you in June!!!
