Star Spangled Weekend {View #5}

Prepare yourself for lots of pictures :)

This past weekend we had the opportunity to drive a short 4 hours to our nation's capitol with some friends of ours. We went to visit our friend Chris and some of my family. We had fun sight-seeing and spending time together.

[Saturday: We grilled out and then walked around downtown D.C. the rest of the day]
