Spring Break Trip Post 1

 Andrew had a lot of airline miles/hotel points from his travels to and from England last year. So of course we spent them post-haste on a fabulous trip to Washington D.C.! We stayed at an amazingly beautiful hotel right across the street from the White House.

 Seriously. The nicest hotel in which I have ever stepped foot. In the past, we have stayed in Bethesda and rode the metro for a while in order to get downtown. This time, being right downtown already was amazing! The view from our hotel window was beautiful, and it took seconds to walk to the White House, Ford's Theatre, and other sight-seeing places.

Grace especially loved wearing the complimentary bathrobes....we were quite spoiled :)

Grace getting her JIG on

 Grace walked in the Salt Lake St. Patrick's Day Parade! It was cold and windy...but super fun.

Then her group danced at the Gateway. She did an awesome job! We LOVE Irish Dance!

A Birthday RoaD TRiP

Ty's 20th birthday fell on a Monday this year...so we made the trek to Dixie to visit him for the weekend! We spent a fun day hiking at Zion's National Park, went to dinner, and embarrassed him by singing in the restaurant. He was sweet enough to spend time at our hotel swimming with Grace for a while as well.

...and 2 pictures with the people responsible for his earthly existence. Happy birthday to my Ty. We love you! Thanks for the excuse to have a mini-vacation down south!
