Thanksgiving and our DC Trip!

Ben and his sister, Lacy. We stayed at Lacy's house in Virginia for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time! I had never met her kids and it had been four years or so since Ben had seen her boys. This was also the first time he met her new little baby girl, Sarah. Thanks for a great visit Lacy!

Ben and his nephews Sean, Jace, and Kyle. Cory is the oldest and isn't in the picture. I think he was at wrestling practice.
Korean War memorial. This is such cool memorial. It is really powerful. You can see the reflection of the soldiers in a wall that runs parallel to them.
On Saturday, Ben and I went into to DC, which is about 2 hours from where his sister lives. We met up with Ben's brother, Jim, who lives about an hour and a half on the other side of DC. Jim was nice enough to take us around DC, even though he has done it a million times :) It was great to be able to see some of Ben's family that we don't see often. We went to his place that night and played games with Jim and Kathy's friends. That made for a long drive home that night :P

Lincoln Memorial. We both really like this monument.
The National Mall. It was so busy in DC that day, so many tourists! We went to the National Museum of American History and it was packed wall to wall with people. Needless to say we got out of there quickly. We like the outdoor memorials better because there was much more fresh air and you weren't running into someone every time you turned around.
Were's Waldo? I mean, Ben and Jim? Can you find them?
Ben and I at the World War II Memorial.
Ben and baby Sarah. He just LOVED being around her. Everytime he could get a hold of her, she was in his arms :)

Bowlin' the Turkey on Thanksgiving morning! Ben and his nephews went to play football with other guys in Lacy's ward. What is Thanksgiving without football? Or so Ben would say.
