Ocean City, Maryland!!!

While we were in DC we decided to go over to Ocean City, Maryland with my aunt and cousins to spend the day at the beach! It was so beautiful and also freezing!! The girls were troopers though and shivered their way through the waves. It was such a fun day!

World War II Memorial

Here are some pics from the WW2 Memorial. We stopped here on the way to the Cemetary. It was so beautiful and had a lot of fun checking things out and taking pictures!









Arlington National Cemetary- Memorial Day!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!! We went to the Arlington National Cemetary and took a long tour ride through the whole cemetary. WOW It was much bigger than I expected. I knew it would be big but it was huge! The tour guide was pretty informative and we got to get off at the Tomb of the Unknown soldier to watch the Changing of guard ceremony. That was incredible! They were so detailed and protective. It was a great expierience!

Washington D.C

We have been having a blast! Everytime we come to visit Travis and Steph in DC we have so much fun. We always try to do new things. Travis was able to come with us on all our adventures and it was awesome. We went downtown and played in the fountain, did some shopping, lunch and just checked out some sites. We went to the White House and Kyleigh was really facinated by this. She was asking so many questions and was just so curious the whole time.

Our Trip to Nashville, Tennessee!!

We had a BLAST in Nashville! We went to several country music museums and even the Dukes of Hazzard Museum! The original cars from the TV show were there...it was sweet. We went to the Grand Ole Opry...definatley not what I expected but it was still neat. We spent some time in the Gibson Guitar Factory and got to see how all the guitars are made. We ate at this awesome resteraunt that was surrounded by walls and walls of fish tanks. The highlight was definatley feeding the Sting rays. It definatley took some time getting used to it but they were friendly enough. Ok...so the Opry Mills Mall was amazing! We seriously couldn't make it through the whole mall in one day. The girls got Pop star make overs at this cute little store. It was fun but we were definatley exhausted by the end of the day. :) It's sad to think our trip is almost over! It has been so much fun!!











We made it to Washington DC!

Oh my...what a trip! Our 12 hour trip seemed to turn into a 1200 hour trip. I don't know who was wrong us or the navigation system but I'm pretty sure it was us! We FINALLY left Kentucky about 9:30 am. We planned on leaving no later that 7AM. We had to go out to the barn to feed the horses and check on my sister who was riding that morning.




We then had to go to the grocery store and our few things turned into a cart load of stuff. Then we had to get gas....Well when we made it an hour to Nashville we ended up circling around the center of Nashville 4 times!! The freeways were so complicated and the navigation system kept trying to turn us around and we ended up wasting almost 2 hours there. So we took a chance....on a freeway and almost ended up Alabama! We had to turn around and drive back to Nashville (2 hours) to get on the right path and once we did it was pretty much smooth sailing from there. 12 Hours later right outside of DC my mom got pulled over. Her first ticket ever!! She just kepting telling the cops stories and stories and the poor guy just wanted to leave. He ended up letting her off with a 'failure to read a sign' ticket instead of a speeding ticket. Which is worse? Speeding ticket or telling you that you can't read? haha But we made it and had some fun stops on the way.
