Just hangin out in North Carolina and DC!

We were lucky enough to go to North Carolina for 7 days and stay with Cody and Marissa (Thanks so much guys!) and then we went to DC for 2 days. Such a blast. The only downside was I did not come home with a tan. Sorry to those on facebook. Alot of these pics will be a repeat, but I did try to spice it up a bit. You're just lucky I didn't put all 200 pics that we took up



The first day we went to the beach, Home of One Tree Hill!!










Duke Gardens







Duke Chapel



Can't pronounce for the life of me.


Trav was so excited to see Cameron Indoor Stadium. He took so many pictures of this place.





We went to a Durham Bulls Baseball game





I was going crazy in the 4 hour drive to D.C. The ride home was worse and took us over 6 because of traffic

Trav's favorite thing in the Natural History Smithsonian. A skull completely disassembled. There were so many cool things in this museum and so we took so many pics I just picked our favs.

Mine was a pic of a broken tibua and fibula with a rod in the fibula!! Ok that wasn't my fav but I thought it was cool

My real fav was the entire Holocaust Museum. It was so sad and so eye opening. I want to learn as much as I can about it and I need to read more books. I wasn't allowed to take pics in the best part of the museum, but here is a part that I could.



First thing we saw. I was so excited





There were lots of WWII vets at the WWII Memorial. I was so happy to see them there and even cried a bit because I have no idea what they went through for our country. I was so proud of them and just wanted to hug them. I got a better pic of them and one guy even smiled at our camera instead of his.









On our last day we went to the Lake. Still, no tan.
