At the Hill's Home in Virginia

Since we obviously hadn't received our fill of DC with our trips in July and August, we went again last week while Merrill was at a research conference in Bethesda. Cami, Mikayla, and Joshua stayed with Bridget, Benson, and their family while Merrill was at his conference. Here are a couple of pictures with Mikayla and Hayli.

Arlington National Cemetary

While we were in DC, we went to Arlinton National Cemetary to watch the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier.

We went to DC again over the 3rd weekend in August to see Ashley, one of Cami's roomates from college. Ashley is married to Lee Phillips and they have a 2 yr. old, Morgan. Here are some photos we took while we were at the zoo with them.
