Our last break is coming to an end. It's a little bitter sweet. We are so excited to be done with school and move on to bigger and better things but there are definitely some things we are going to miss about being students. One is definitely getting week long breaks throughout the semester or three week long Christmas breaks. But alas, making money far out weighs those perks of being in school. For Matt's spring break we didn't really have anything planned so a couple days before the break we decided that we needed to take one last trip up to DC and do a couple things that we haven't had the chance to yet. So Sunday after church we headed up to Arlington Cemetery to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I think we would have enjoyed the cemetery a lot more had it been warmer but we were all freezing so we stayed long enough to watch the changing of the guard and then left. It was cool though and we are glad we decided to go.
Then we headed up to the DC temple to have a carnic (kinda like a picnic but it was freezing so we ate in the car) and walk around the visitors center. This was the highlight for Karlee. She was so sad the last time Matt and I went to the temple because she didn't get to go. She loved coloring the pictures of the temple and if you got an email of a picture of a colored temple it's from Karlee :)

We have some friends Amber and Gordon who just recently moved to the DC area and were so kind to let us crash at their place last minute. Gordon works for one of the House Representatives for the state of Utah and scheduled a private tour of the capitol. We are glad that we were able to do it but it was so crazy with our screamer. We wish we could have done it without kids because our tour guide had so many stories and information to tell us but we didn't get around to most of it. Oh well. We'll have to come back when the kids are older.
In the capitol there are two statues of people from every state. Brigham
Young was one of Utah's so of course we had to get our picture with
him.

Then we headed back home and have been relaxing for the last couple of days dreading getting back to real life. Only 8 weeks until Disneyworld, 9 weeks until graduation, and 10 weeks until we move! CRAZY!!

Looks like fun! It is a sad day when there are no more breaks for the hubby. Oh well!
I love the pictures of your family vacation. Someday Colton will smile instead of trying to eat the camara. And yes the little human, tazmanian devil will eventually settle. :) Love you all and looking forward to seeing you at Grad.
