Trip to Arlington Virginia / Washington DC

White House

Me in front of the White House.

Back of the White House - they had added security today so some of the streets around the White House were blocked and there were 2 men on the roof of the white house with guns.

I was trying to get a good picture of the garden on the backside of the White House. Not sure if you can tell or not. . . . .

Washington Monument

Eisenhower Executive Office Building

Department of Veterans Affairs Building - this was on the side and I thought it was good.

Andrew Jackson Monument

This is a hotel - thought it looked pretty interesting.

We had a pretty busy week this week - put in about 60 hours at the Employment Center. Saturday we had a Career Workshop for Professionals. We got home from that about 5:00 and decided to go to Arlington as Elder and Sister Kigin were giving their report in their Ward this Sunday and we wanted to attend that meeting. We arrived around 10 pm. Their meeting was at 9:00 this morning. Elder and Sister Kigin were surprised to see us so that was fun! They gave really good and inspiring talks. We feel very blessed to have been able to work with them and get to know them. It was fun to see some of their children again and meet more. After Sacrament meeting we went into Washington DC and saw a couple sites before heading home. All I had with me was my iphone to take the pictures with. We think we will try to make this trip again when we have more time.
