We Heart America!!

Greetings, Everyone!! Happy Fourth of July!! We hope that everyone is having a great holiday! We realize that a lot of you will be busy today with BBQs and pool parties and may not see this post today, but we wanted to wish you a happy holiday all the same. We're having a bit of a damp, rainy day here in Topeka, unfortunately. Stuart and I have been cooped up inside this afternoon, but we have some house projects to work on and some blogging to do:).

Stuart and I just got back from a trip to Washington, D.C. this past week. We went there for a convention that one of our clients participates in and to meet with elected officials from Kansas. When we weren't in meetings we had a chance to tour some of the National Monuments and the United States Capitol Building. We had a great time there and really enjoyed seeing all of the historical sites that are a part of our nation's capital. Our trip really put us in a patriotic mood for the Fourth of July! Here are some pictures from our trip.

This is the view of the Capitol from the street in front of our hotel. We were really close!

Here are Stuart and I in the Capitol rotunda while we were on a tour. Neither of us had ever been inside before!

The ceiling of the rotunda. The painting is called "The Apotheosis of Washington." It was beautiful. And really tall.

Here's Stuart just looking cute at the Jefferson Memorial.

Us at the White House!

The Lincoln Memorial after dark.

Shadow kiss on the marble:)

Again, we hope that everyone has a happy and safe Fourth of July!!
