We spent a few days in DC itself. We went to the museum of natural history, definitely my favorite museum & a must see for everyone else who has never been there! Museum of American history was okay, It has the first legit American flag in it. suuuper cool to see! Washington monument, WWII memorial, Lincoln memorial, White house. We pretty much walked everywhere, until we were at the Lincoln memorial & wanted Panera Bread. Took a taxi & then walked from Panera to the white house & back to the museums. What an amazing experience to see so many things in history & yet, I feel like I didn't see anything! Because there's just so much to see!! We went to Arlington Cemetery one day. & that was amazing. So many headstones, I was in awh. I can not believe all of those soldiers died to protect our freedom. <3 love the military services our country has. We went into Annapolis (Marylands capital) a few different times. One of which Trent & I were dancing by the bay & he stepped on my foot. Snap! Broke my toe nail, that J just put on there a week ago, off! Dang Acrylic!! & Dang boy steppin' on my toe! So He redid my toes for me. hahaha. It was adorable. He's perfect. We got about a million smashed pennies in Virginia & Maryland. Spent some time in Baltimore. Went on a date to the Baltimore aquarium. Amazing & Cheesecake factory! Loved every second of it! Went to 3 Different shopping malls. & Saw the Katy Perry Movie in 3D! I loved it. Trent liked it as well (He just wont admit it to his buddies.) ha. Such a boy. Busch Gardens one day. SUUUPER hot, sweating all over the place, but it was so much fun & we had the times of our lives. I even dodged some knives that were being thrown at me in the 3D movie. ahh!! 'did you really just dodge those?!' YES THEY LOOKED REAL!! hahahah. Or Trent's face on the roller coaster picture, scared as freaking ever when I'm making the cheesiest face of my life, smiling away! My flip flop broke when we were with his friends eating Lunch at the mall & He fixed it with a safety pin I had. He says 'A city boy would not have been able to fix that! Just us country boys!' hahaha!! So SO SO true! Dinner at a few of his friend's houses. Thank you to Ryan & Tasja & Derek & Emily for having us over. Drove around a lot & saw the LDS temple. It was really cool to hang out with Trent's friends & even though they might have bad military mouths, when they say how beautiful the LDS temple is at night, all lit up. It is amazing to hear. They just light up when they talk about the beauty!
We gained so many new quotes, like the little seven year old at the aquarium that was yelling 'WHAT THE HECK! Look at that HUGE EEL!! That's a HUGE EEL!' when it was clearly a tank full of stingrays. & the parents just stood there looking at the 'eels'. Parenting at it's best. HAHAHA! Or the little boy that was at the natural history museum & said 'I'M A FROG!!' or the kid behind us at busch gardens on the roller coaster that kept saying 'OH SNAP! OH SNAP WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A TURN! OHHH SNAPPP!!' hahaha. or the girl & her boyfriend fighting on the pier in Annapolis about chicken wings. 'I ate all your chicken wings' says the girl. 'NO YOU DIDNTTT' says the boy. hahaha!
He bought me a build a bear pig. We called her pink. She's adorable & Trent loved cuddling with her. She loves her daddy. We however did not get a family picture, Which I'm bummed about. But we will get another time. He bought me these beautiful earrings, that he gave me on the pier in Annapolis? I think. & surprised me with Lace Toms sitting on my suitcase one morning when I got out of the shower! They're perfect! He's so cute & all these simple little things he did for me/simple surprises that meant the world to me! Like when we went out to the pond at night & did sparklers & ate ice cream & laid under the stars. Something so simple, yet perfect in my eyes. That is until the mosquitoes came out & attacked me & my knee swelled up. Dang Mosquitoes!
Had an amazing time being in this truck, way too big for me to get in or out of. Trent often had to help me in and out of it. The seat I had to jump into was up to my face. & Drivin' like a rockstar, with black tinted windows & singing songs loud and proud with Trent. It's been a while since I've smiled that much & been that happy. What an amazing feeling to have again. I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
Unfortunately back to reality. My flight got into the airport in SLC at 10:30am friday, & I pretty much went straight to work after that. Worked friday & saturday. So it is finally nice to have a sunday off & catch up on some things. Spent saturday night with my J. She's adorable & it was nice to just have it be her & me yesterday. We went & got subway & went to sally's. Went back to her place & watched Ladder 49 while Gossiping & eating our subway dinners. She then did extensions in my hair. & we dyed her hair & fixed a few of my fingernails that were pulling up & fixed my toe nail that Trent broke off. Hahaha! The night ended with Purple hair extensions in both of our hair! & laying on her bed listening to CRAZY GIRL on the radio! Missing our boys. <3 Loved spending time with her, It was one long week without her, but I was with my Trent. & I just wish I could have been with BOTH of them. They're both amazingly wonderful. Love them.
Enjoy the pictures, because facebook is yet to see most of these! <3 loves.
