Vacation Pics in Virginia, Annapolis & DC

Our first stop....Lynchburg, VA. We spent the day celebrating Christopher's
7th birthday (in May) with our extended family (Christopher's birthfamily). We went out to dinner, then the next day went to the pool and had a cookout and bday party for Christopher. Lot's of fun and presents all around! We always love spending time with family!


Then, we stopped in Staunton, VA to visit our good friends from college...Jimmy & Renee, and their 3 kiddos. We haven't seen them in 4 years...it was great catching up and spending a little time with them before heading to Annapolis!


Then we headed for Annapolis, MD for 4 days to spend with my family...mom, aunt rita, katie & her crew, and jessica. We spent the time there relaxing (as much as possible)...we did some fishing in the inlet behind the house, we toured the Naval Academy and downtown Annapolis, and visiting Daddy T's graveside in Arlington Cemetary in DC.








Then we moved into Washington DC to do a little more touring, swimming at the house, and we were joined by Nathan, Shannon & the boys. We also had the opportunity to honor Talmadge by placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the 1 year anniversary of his homegoing. It was a special time and we also got to go under the tomb in the barracks to see where Daddy T served while he was at the Tomb.
