The District of Columbia

My trip to D.C. was such a blast. We spent Friday going to a lot of the museums, seeing the monuments and cruising around the National Mall. Saturday we went on a tour of the White House, went to the D.C. Temple and went to this cool little town in West Virginia called Harpers Ferry where Robert Brown and his sons led a raid during the Civil War. Sunday we went to church then headed over to Arlington, and the National Cathedral. Monday we went on a tour of the Capitol and went to the Library of Congress and Supreme Court Building. It was such a fun trip but now I am so worn out that I need a vacation from my vacation!
Me in front of the Capitol.
Lindsey and I in the Rotunda.
Me with the original cornerstone that George Washington laid for the Capitol Building.
This is the room below the Rotunda and I am standing on the center point of DC, all roads come out of that point.

Flowrider

On Tuesday night I went with some friends to Ogden to learn how to surf at a place called Flowrider. I was really nervous since I have absolutely no experience surfing, skateboarding or snowboarding like all of my friends do. But I had SO much fun! It was hard learning how to balance but once I got the hang of it I loved it and I can't wait to go back!

Volleyball Champs

So for the past few weeks I have been playing in a Rec Volleyball League at Logan High on Wednesday nights. Last Wednesday night was the championship game and we won!! It was really fun to play with some old teammates and friends and of course go home with a new
t-shirt!

Crazy Wind

So on Tuesday night my parents heard a loud bang while they were having their scripture study and when they looked out the kitchen window they saw their shed blowing across the back yard. They hurried and went outside to move all the stuff that was once under the shed to the garage and then tied down the shed to the back fence. I couldn't resist taking a few photos when I went out to their house on Saturday.....good times.
