DC

WAshington Monument...nestled in the "Fall" of the East Coast....tis pretty in fall out here!

Capitol Hill....where business is done!!

Lincoln Memorial...

I swear we saw it and didn't super-impose ourselves in a picture....

Vietnam Memorial....takes your breath away with so many names.........we also saw a group of "Honor flight" veterans on a tour....what a great way to try to say thanks to those that serve! Honor flights take groups of WWII vets to DC and show them the sites along with their own memorial that has been erected in their honor...flights are 100% paid for through dontations...if your looking for a place to give, consider these honorable folks!

Lauren and Tait...enjoying the fall colors on the Mall in DC....so pretty!

The Smithsonian....entrance and information building....it's comprised of several buildings...we ventured in to the animal one....so great to see...can't wait to take my own kids!

We ventured into DC one day with Tait and Melissa while they were visiting....we got to the Smithsonion, Washington monument and the Lincoln Memorial....words can do no justice to the feeling of being there and seeing it...I got a little choked up at the Vietnam memorial...

R & R

Palo is the 'adults only' restaurant on the ship....Yes, we DID eat there! Great food...lots of really great chefs come through there to work...watch all about it on the travel channel when they feature the disney cruises! Jason and I, Weldon and Kristen and Mike and Laurie...good food and wonderful company!

ARgh...Captain Hook tried to commandeer the ship...but it was Mickey Mouse to the rescue!

Ok...is this not the greatest way to spend a weekend?!?!?

This is Wavebands...the club on the ship...after 10pm it's adults only...this is from karoke night...and oh what a night....there was lots of alcohol!

Jason and I escaped for a long weekend to get some much needed R & R while his brother and family were here to look after the kids. We boarded the Disney Wonder cruiseship on Thurs and got back Sunday. It was beautiful...the sun was shining, I had drinks in my hand...everything is always perfect with Disney!

We stopped in Nassau, Bahamas and Castaway Cay...my only request is Disney put a resort on the island so I can go there and stay.....FOREVER!

School Halloween Party Oct. 30

Here is a pic of the kiddos from the school halloween celebration on Fri....

Happy Halloween!

Here we are, starting out...the kids are pumped to trick o' treat.

A graveyard along E. Capitol St....and most were in costume as well....great time!

Capitol Hill....

We celebrated Halloween in Washington DC with Jason's Cousin and his family. We ate a fantastic dinner and then headed out trick o' treating in their neighborhood and then along E. Capitol St. It was an experience, and a great one. I'm assuming that those that live along that street most likely are staffers and legislators that work on Capitol Hill. We trick o' treated the house of Al Gore's campaign manager...it was just so very cool! They decorate their yards and make it such a fun time for all the kids.....
