Crazy, busy weekend!!

Well we had a whirlwind weekend here in the Bennett household. Vanessa went through the temple on Saturday and a friend of her's from Washington State flew out for it. Walter was still sick and Nicole was coming down with the same thing so he stayed home with the kids while I got the great opportunity to go with Vanessa. It was a gorgeous, hot day here in Maryland and the temple was packed. Parking was hard to find, which is a wonderful thing. We enjoyed our session and spending this special day with Vanessa.






















































After the session and photos we headed out to a late lunch to Red Robin in Germantown. I haven't been to Red Robin since Spokane. We had a nice lunch with Vanessa, David, Ben, Kathy and me. Walter graciously agreed to pay. LOL!! It was a long day and we finally got home in the evening. Then Vanessa, David and I headed to Sam's Club to pick up Skyler's birthday cake and decided after that to show David the covered bridge. We got home pretty late and we were exhausted and had to get up early the next day to head into D.C. Oh ya, the dogwood blossoms at the temple grounds were just stunning!! These are my new favorite blossom. Just gorgeous!!



















































On Sunday, Vanessa, David and I headed into D.C. for the day to show David the sites. It was going to be another scorcher day here on the east coast. In fact it got into the 90's there and I thought I was gonna die. LOL!! We took him to the White House, Washington Monument, Holocaust Museum, World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and then walked the entire mall up to the Capital building. Whew!! That's alot of walking if you know D. C. We then headed to Union Station for lunch and a little shopping. After that we caught the metro back to Shady Grove to head home for Skyler's Birthday dinner, cake and ice cream. (I will post about that tomorrow). It was a jam packed weekend and my feet are throbbing and even managed to get a blister, LOL, but it was fun and exciting. Okay, I am off to design for NSD!!!
