Washington D.C.

For the summer Curt did an internship in Washington D.C. at Bolling Air Force Base. We used it as a great opportunity to have a fun vacation! Everything was paid for but my plane ticket which was so nice! Normally we would have had to stay on base at their housing but we got lucky and it was all booked for the time we were there! So we had to stay at a hotel off base. (oh darn) We ended up at a really nice place right on The National Harbor. It was beautiful!!! Also Curt being the amazing person he is, he talked the rental car place to upgrade us to a nicer car than the one the Military got us, which was a luxurious and comfy Lincoln Town car.




Curt was so excited to be able to play lots of golf and tennis with his dad, and he did play a lot!! They even got to play in a golf tournament! They came in second place! I was so proud of them!

This is on the waters edge of National Harbor. It's called "The Awakening". It looks more like he is screaming "get off me you big pregnant woman".





One of the Saturday's we got to go with Chad and Sue (Curt's parents) to the bishops store house! They are so awesome!! It was so fun to see them do such a great work. Sue made us lunch while we were there and they gave us a tour and let us help out a bit too!



We also got to watch the Air Show from the parking lot of the Storehouse! It is so amazing having those huge planes blare over our heads.





Chad took us to one of our favorite things to do when we visit them! We went to a Washington Nationals baseball game! We play the funnest game with him when we go! We can't wait for our kids to go to a game with Grandpa!! They will have a blast.

Curt again being the amazing man he is totally surprised me and treated me to a weekend in New York!! We drove from D.C. to N.Y.C!! It was so much fun! He got us Phantom Of The Opera tickets and took me to some really neat restaurants. We had so much fun there! We walked around Central Park and Times Square just enjoying spending time together.


When we got back from New York we had guests at our hotel! My parents came to visit!!! We were so excited to see and spend time with them. We gave them our hotel room with a large comfortable bed (I loved the bed) and we went to stay at Curt's parents house. They took us to Mount Vernon which is where George Washington's home was! It was a beautiful place full of history. The spirit of power and goodness were felt throughout the whole estate.

Curt's parents had us all over to their house for dinner one night. Our families don't get to spend much time together since they live so far away so we were happy to have our parents together. Our friend Michael Bush was even there to spend time with us!

One night I was able to see one of my mission companions, Sarah Groesbeck, She cooked Curt and I dinner! It was great to see her and catch up.

We had such a fun trip! And Curt really enjoyed his internship. He was able to see lots of really neat things and get a better feel for what he would be doing as a dentist in the Air Force.
