Heisel Rules the Road!

Well, it's about that time...to move it on out {mid} westward. We're packed (almost) and ready to hit the road in the am. Both excited and nervous, we're certainly glad to have each other!

Beware- lots photos below!

We had a wonderful trip to Washington DC (and surrounding areas) this past week. We stayed with one of Matt's Army buddies for the first couple days. They were such gracious hostesses and even had a sweet lil 2 year old boy that was down right darling. Glad to call them all friends of mine now as well! I love the people that the Army introduces us to! Makes me feel proud to be a part of the Army family! :)

During our visit to DC, we got a personal tour of the White House! It was a tad smaller than I expected/thought, but still very nice nonetheless! I'm so grateful to our special tour guide and for taking time out of his (and his family's) day/weekend to do this for us! We ate lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe DC and then got to see Ford's Theater.

Rock it Hard, baby!

We also got to tour the Capitol with Matt's Congressman's office . This is by far the best way to go if you are in the area and want to tour the Capitol!  We even got to go to the Congress floor!! The tour was a little over 2 hours, but honestly, this was our favorite part! Sooo worth it, and did I mention, FREE?! Actually, most everything we did on the trip was free!

P.S. Matt wanted me to mention that while visiting his Congressman's office, he visited Ron Paul's office and got to sit in his chair. (Silly, Matt!)

We topped our last night off with the Nats vs. Braves baseball game. So much fun to hang out with the fam while watching the game. Below is some of the shenanigans that we couldn't help but get into! ;)

Special Congrats to the newlywed couple!! We are so blessed to be a part of your very special day!  Here's to a lifetime of many happy memories!! Muah! We love you!

We came, we saw, we conquered need to come back to see everything! Great trip, though, and so glad we took the time to see what we did!

Well, I think that's about all for one night. The sound of snoring alarm will sound early, gotta get my beauty rest for the long drive ahead. ;) We will miss this city and all our friends here, but we're ready to get the next chapter started. Wish of tons of luck and love!

Heisel Rules!
