Our DC trip was actually in mid-July so I have fallen behind on my updates. It was a wonderful time in our nation's capital. We spent our first couple nights in Georgetown and my mom and aunt came down to join us for some sightseeing. The Holocaust museum was powerful, and then walking the mall and seeing the monuments is always incredible.
After a couple days we moved over to the wedding hotel across the river. On Sat morning, Kelly and I went to Arlington Cemetery which we both agreed was the most overwhelming and inspirational place on the trip. We saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown, as well as seeing graves from the earliest American wars, all the way up to soldiers killed this year in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That Sat July 18th was the wedding and they were married in St Patrick's church, which is the oldest parish in DC, founded in 1794. Then the reception was back near the hotel and it was a great time with some very good friends at our own Journey table. Unfortunately our camera broke before the wedding/reception so Chris/Bronwyn/Mickey/Mark/Earnest/Greg/Robyn, I am sorry but we have no pictures to include, but great to see all of you.
