Visiting Washington DC

Kent and I were so fortunate to get to go with Brandon and the Bonneville High School Choir on tour to Washington DC last week. It was our first time there and it was such a great experience. We got just a glimpse of what this amazing city has to offer and spending a few days there has only made us want to go back when we can spend more time. There is so much to see! We visited the Holocaust Museum, Mt. Vernon, The National Mall - we only had a few hours so we visited the Air and Space Museum and the U.S. History Museum. We also got to see the Jefferson Memorial, The Lincoln Memorial and several of the war memorials. On the way to the airport on Sunday we got to stop at the Washington DC Temple. It is breathtaking! It was so fun to be there with Brandon and the Bonnevaires. Being a part of this group has been an amazing experience for Brandon (and Ashley too, when she was in high school). It has changed his life for the better. Here are just a few of the highlights from our trip.
