Baby's first trip

We decided to go to Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's house) and to Shenandoah National Park for the long weekend at the end of May. It was Asher's first night away from home and he did great.
David carried him in the baby bjorn all around Monticello until he fell asleep. :)


What is left of Thomas Jefferson's favorite tree...


Shenandoah was beautiful and we actually saw a small black bear!! Then we went to one of the Visitor's centers and on a hike to see a waterfall.



I had heard about Luray Caverns in the Shenandoah Valley for a few years and we decided to check them out. They were enormous and spectacular!

A birthday and 5 years of marriage!

David turned 29 a few weeks ago! We celebrated by going to Great Falls National Park. We've been to the Maryland side of the falls several times but this was our first time visiting from the Virginia side.




We also celebrated our 5 year anniversary on the 20th! Hard to believe that we have been married for 5 years already! We went out to eat and to visit this place called Morven Park, the home of a former Virginia governor from 1918-1922.
