Baltimore Harbor...




I thought Nash had an "accident" until he looked at me with a panic. We rushed to find a bathroom...he made it! Ever since then we have been OFFICIALLY potty trained! YEAH NASH!
He was pretty proud of himself.
I love our little family. :)


I am so happy we took a small family vacation. We didn't do much but that was the beauty of it. We just needed to get out of the Lehigh Valley and enjoy each other. Hopefully there will be more of those moments in the future.

DC Zoo...

DC is the BEST family vacation because everything is basically free! We spent Father's day walking the zoo.


Nash felt like it was his duty to step on EVERY elephant footprint.

I learned a lot about elephants at this exhibit. This elephant weighs 9000 lbs. She had a baby not to long ago. She was pregnant for 2 years with a 900 lb baby boy! ...HOLY MOLY!





Fun FREE day at the zoo!

Cafe Rio on the East Coast!!

How happy are we that Cafe Rio is finally on the East Coast!!! Of course they strategically placed this Cafe Rio close to the DC Temple. I guess they knew us Utahn Mormons would frequent the temple AND Cafe Rio!!!

Of course the food did not disappoint!
MMMM Pork Barbocoa Salad.
Pork Barbocoa Burrito.
Nash tried to steal my salad. I guess his Quesadilla wasn't as good as dads at home.




We were pretty gitty before and after Cafe Rio! So happy to have our bellies full from a taste of home....YUM! Thank you Cafe Rio for coming to the East Coast!! ...WE LOVE YOU!

Pool Time...

Nash LOVES water but he is TERRIFIED of swimming pools. He always content wandering around the poolside. It takes a lot of coaxing and some tricks to get him in the pool.

I think we all blinded anyone who looked out their windows at us....we are definitely a PASTY WHITE family!

He finally made it in. But it was pretty short lived but little by little.

Smiles...

During our DC trip I had my old camera with its kit lens (which in my opinion is worse then a piece of poo.) But my favorite lens was in the shop. BOO!
ANYWAY...one of my favorite games to play with Nash while we are walking is I hold my camera out at him without looking and take a picture. He thinks it is so funny and I actually capture some SUPER cute shots. Most of them are blurry or extremely noisy BUT they show my favorite smile so I am happy. :)
I even do it when he is drinking water...haha!

Walking in Washington DC...




Sometimes the best memories are the quiet ones that come during a relaxing walk.

We tried to get a family picture...doesn't Darin have a beautiful smile...haha!
Ummm is it just me or are we getting old?
Couldn't think of anyone better to grow old with. :)



Notice the sign behind Nash "Please Respect the Memorial. No Wading. No Coins."...oops!

This lady was giving out "FREE HUGS!" Darin is always a sucker for these...I guess Nash is too.
Had to get a picture by Nash's birth place.
Our current state.
And of course the state closest to our heart...UTAH!
