Before going to the temple, we went to Arlington National Cemetery to find his great-uncle and aunt's grave site. Truly a humbling place.
Weston submitted 2 paintings to a show held in the D.C. Temple Visitor Center and they were both accepted! It was such a blessing and a really amazing exhibit. Paintings, sculptures, etc. came from all over the world. Here is one we both really love from Rose(de tac dahl?)of Adam and Eve. The theme was "Fulfilling the Vision"
Hurray! Here are Weston's paintings: "That Man Might Be," a vital moment in our Heavenly Father's plan for His children, and "Washington D.C. Temple" (below)--a place we remember who we are, Whose we are, where we are going, and are eternally linked through Christ, to our families forever.
Williamsburg: The original church built in 1715 and still in use for services today! It was tied to the University (the lead Priest/Minister was also president of the school...sounds inspired...and familiar).
This is where I need to go when I start to get whiney...my life is good!
Oh, to go back in time and live in Williamsburg for a spell (though I'm most grateful to have an umbrella)! The homes are so beautiful! We had a blast walking, and meandering on a quiet day.
At one end of the 1 mile stretch: College of William and Mary, est. 1693. This is where Thomas Jefferson attended college and where many pivotal minds and debates for the Revolutionary war began.
Monkey bread made by the fire! Too bad it tasted like charcoal briquettes...
Hurray for camping! Weston got a good blaze going in the freezing cold--that's my Eagle Scout!
Spring break and amazing history--a jolly good time for some heel clicking!
On the pier over the Atlantic where one of the most important battles occurred in the history of the United States at Yorktown.
Statue erected 100 yrs after the surrender at Yorktown to remember one new nation and signify peace. "The best of all works--the work of peace" -Benjamin Franklin
