From Zion to DC

A couple of weeks ago, my long lost LDS brother from the Land of Zion came to hang out with us for a weekend, and got to spend a little time in Obama’s town. This being his first visit to the capitol city, we of course had to see all the sites… and there are a few. I had a few blisters after walking about a thousand miles, but we even saw a few things we’d never seen before, so it was all good. And best of all, we got to ride the metro with 50,000 Washington Nationals fans (even though I never would have guessed the Nationals had that many fans… though to be honest, I think there were more people wearing jerseys for the other team). So other than the long delays on the train, and the heavy crowds around the mall, it was yet another exciting site seeing tour of the city.


Just hanging out at the steps of the Capitol. Paul's been there so many times already he's barely amused.

However, this was Adam's first visit to see his Senators and Representatives. He hurled a few garbled insults and spit some drool over his disgust with their performances and inability to get us out of the current economic crisis.

Paul on the other hand, was not concerned about the economy. He never has to worry about whether his endless supply of funds will run out. Right.

You can never have enough pictures of the monuments. Just ask any one of the six hundred thousand tourists down there any day of the week. Including this tourist.

Paul tried to climb through the fence to speak with Mr. Obama. He spent the rest of the weekend being waterboarded in an underground holding cell beneath the South Lawn.

So Josh had a good time visiting the nation’s capitol and all of the monuments within… and what’s even better – we get to do it all again when my sister gets here in September! And probably again if Becky’s parents come in October. And probably again if her sister comes in January. And then probably again. And then probably again.
