D.C. Slideshow

Sister Summer Trip 2008

Okay, so I know if any of you have checked my blog may be wondering if I was still alive....well I am. However, I vacationed way too much and didn't even get too close to a computer. Now I'm back in school and back to the real world so I figured I should post about all my vacations! Yay! There was way too much to see to blog about all of it. I have decided to put three posts in consecutive order-one from each city. The 1st is Washington D.C. We had a wonderful time and so much fun. We loved all the history and memorials and even became Metro connosieurs by the end of each city! I will try and hit the highlights from each place (very difficult to narrow down) and then I will put more pictures in a slide show!

The Lincoln Memorial! What an awesome president!
The Washington Monument!
I love this picture because it shows everyone how disgustingly hot, sweaty, and sticky it is there! Ew Gross! We glisten!
Georgetown
On the tour thingy at Arlington Cemetery Tomb of the Unknown Soldier- changing of the guard. Really neat!
This the ampitheatre at the Tomb of the Unknown-really pretty!
This is the marker we walked a long long way to see-as it was our Grandma's brother- we took some pictures- then when I went to visit her I told her and she said her brother's middle name was "Wadsworth" or something like that....what a waste of our legs. Although, the real marker may have been farther-who knows?
The White House at night- Ashley was pretty sure it would be easy to hop the fence if you wanted to, but for some reason she didn't want to try!
Really cool picture of the Washington Monument!


This is the water guy who got in a fight with a licensed water/ice cream seller....they were yelling and throwing water bottles and all sorts of crazy stuff!

Outside the National Archives Museum-where we saw the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence!

On our last night Marcy and Ryan drove us to see the Washington D.C. temple! So pretty!

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Our friend Emily and her husband James hosted a murder mystery party for Emily's birthday. It was a lot of fun. The setting was 1925 on a yacht called the Gilded Vessel and of course there was a murder! Well we all had our little books telling us all of our information and some not so good information too. The characters become more and more twisted with each other. It was a lot of fun. I'm probably a little biased, but I think my character was pretty much the coolest. My name was Lucinde Gucie, but I went by Lucie, I was a young Parisienne very big into the nightlife and men.
Lucie Gucie dancing the Charleston!
I think I may start wearing lipstick everywhere...I've always wanted to try but been too scared. I think it looks pretty good though!Ezra was Miles Latout, a race car driver, and myself as Lucie Gucie, heiress to Gucie Estate, I just have to wait one year! (We forgot the hat at the party, but we put it on for pictures sake).
Another shot of the dashing couple! Oooo la la, c'est magnifique! Too many sordid dirty facts known about one another sure can complicate a murder!

Erica was Desiree, a financially burdened woman who had a family vineyard that was taken out by a grape blight. Nathan was Jules (a jewelry dealer in Paris).

James was Wellington Waterloo, (the man in charge of the Gucie inheritance) and Emily was Bella, an up and coming opera star. Perhaps not so innocent...

This was Josh as Captain Mal, a decorated war hero, and Janine as Countess Nadya. Not as innocent as you may think either....

Who dunnit? Was it one of the men?

Or one of the stunning ladies...tres chic! You will never know unless you play "The Grapes of Frath"

Ezra's Birthday Bash (well kinda)

This was Ezra's birthday dinner... the dessert was delicious! Pizzookies at B.J.'s. However, you'd think it was mine since I'm the one with the spoon. I won't let go of the spoon, but sure I'll give my husband a Happy Birthday kiss! I am the luckiest girl alive to have a husband as handsome and wonderful as mine!
Darrell and Vanessa joined us for the happy occassion and then later we went to the San Genarro Fest!
Darrell said that in every picture he sees of me with food my mouth is open! So this is their Lynsie's food picture pose! I sure hope I don't look as goofy as Darrell!

I know! I know! I need to post!

I have been told by many that I need to post...if not, I am breaking some unwritten code of blogging friendship. So... I don't think I posted any pics from my birthday or any other fun stuff that happened in the last month. I hate to post without pics because it is so much more fun to look at pics!

On my birthday I went to dinner with my friend Mikkel and her cute little boy Trajen! We had a pretty good dinner, but it was more fun to just visit and talk about good ol' college days, Twilight, and kids.

My not-so-good dessert. It looks a lot better than it tasted!

Trajen blowing out my candle! It was so cute!

Catchin' Up!

I’ve had my nose in these Twilight books for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately I finished them awhile ago and now need to replace the empty spot in my soul with something else. Dreams of vampires! Hehe. Well, since that hasn’t been my excuse over the last week and a half I’d have to say….I had to catch up on all the work I neglected during my Twilight days. Which explains my lack of blogging. I decided I would take a moment to catch up on my blog. I can't catch up on everything but I'll try to this week. Here goes:
