Capital Visit

By Stephen Boudreau at 11:40 AM| Permalink

Shelley and I spent four days in D.C. last month. We absolutely loved it and are looking forward to visiting again soon. There is so much to see and do, the architecture is breathtaking, and the history is humbling, fascinating, and inspiring. Here are just a few of the photo highlights:

Here we are outside the capitol building. A great friend of ours, Jeremy, works on capital hill and was able to give us a great little tour of this beautiful, historic building.

We checked out the Lincoln Memorial late one night and enjoyed this truly awesome tribute to our 16th president.

Here Shelley is pictured reading the Emancipation Proclamation.

This is me at the World War II memorial. I look like I mean serious business.

Jeremy was able to arrange a private tour of the West Wing of the White House for us. This was certainly the highlight of the entire trip! The opportunity to see the Oval Office, the Roosevelt Room, the Cabinet Room, the Rose Garden, and everything else was was an honor and privilege we are so thankful for. We weren't allowed to take pictures on the inside, but here is a photo of us being silly just outside the entrance.

Actually, we were trying to look like we were discussing important matters, but as Shelley will attest, I have a problem with not being a freak of nature.

The two of us in the "front yard" of the White House.

Here I am taking some important questions about the lack of updates to our website in The White House press room.

Somehow this is the only picture I have of Jeremy from the whole weekend. Thanks my friend. We appreciate your kindness!!
