More Lovely Visitors...

Chris and I were blessed with more visitors this past week.  Chris' brother, Jason, and his girlfriend, Rachel, were here for a week to see the East Coast (and us) before they started their fall semester at U of Iowa!!  We had a great time and I have included some pictures from our adventures.  It was a fun, but exhausting, trip-who else gets to see Central Park, the Freedom Trail in Boston, hiking in Connecticut, two concerts, the White House, and get a flat tire in the Bronx in one week?  



Chris and I in Washington, DC (right in front of the Lincoln Memorial-if only you could see it!)

Brotherly Love-Jason and Chris

Jason and Rachel at their favorite spot in DC-the World War II monument.  Watch out for the water at this monument!
Jason and Rachel at Old Ironsides on the Freedom Trail (right before it poured on us and we had to share our one umbrella)!
Sam Adams grave in the cemetary on Freedom Trail
Rachel and I at the Old North Church.  They don't have pews, instead they sit in boxes to conserve the warmth because they had no heating system.
Me and Baby Rogers as we walked A LOT on the Freedom Trail!
Chris' idol and favorite musician-John Butler Trio! (click here for the JBT website... and click here for a JBT jam... and here... and here!!!)


Chris is in Vegas this week for work (tough, right?) and I have enjoyed a week of Olympics, crafts, puzzles, and being with the puppies.  I am looking forward to having him come home soon!!
