This past week was my birthday week (Kristen and I like to celebrate a whole week for our birthdays). We both wanted to visit Washington DC and check out the sights, so that’s what we did. We got there Friday night and I couldn’t believe it, it was awesome! I’ve never been to DC before so it was really nice to visit the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Capitol Building, World War II Memorial, National Cathedral, and the House of the Temple. I also just finished reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown a few months before this trip so I was really excited to some of the things mentioned in the book. We visited most of the sights at night. One reason was to dodge the day crowds. Two, because they are spectacular sights to see at night.

I seriously have an awesome wife! I can’t thank her enough for everything she does for me and continues to do. I love you!
