Washington DC Monuments

Visiting Washington DC for the first time was amazing. I was very impressed by all the historical buildings in and around the Washington mall.

Sleep
The grand kids had a really big evening walking all over the DC mall. We were ready for bed as well!

It was really great to visit Washington DC and several of the monuments representing our great history as a nation. This being an election I'm certainly hopeful that we will vote for the right leader to be our President. That would be Governor Mitt Romney. To show our support we are proud contributors to the Romney campaign. It was cool that his campaign staff sent us a few mementos in gratitude for our contribution.

Patty & I sure love our country enough to do what we can to vote in a real leader, Mitt Romney, as President of the United States. Big thank you to Jana, David, Breyton and Evie for showing us around DC. Great patriotic memories.

Johns Hopkins Hospital

Jana and David have made the move to Baltimore, Maryland where David is now working as an MD in Radiology at Johns Hopkins hospital. Founded in 1889, Johns Hopkins has built a reputation for being the best in the Nation in many different areas of medicine. We are so thrilled for David and his career at Johns Hopkins.  Patti and I were fortunate to spend an awesome week with them.
 What a good looking family!
