Friends from Mobile

When friends drive 16 hours to see you, it is a big occasion.  And it makes you feel loved.  We love and miss the Steedleys, who live in our neighborhood in Mobile and attended church with us in Mobile and who we have known since college days. 





We saw the Vietnam Memorial...


...pondered Mr. Lincoln...


...loved on each other...


...played on "that random tree" on the National Mall...


...rode the carousel on the Mall...



...checked out the US Botanic Gardens...


  ...and the Capitol...

 ...and generally wore ourselves out (some of it had to do with dodging 100,000 Girl Scouts in town for a celebration...)


We had some colonial fun at Mt. Vernon, water party fun at church, and s'more fun at our backyard fire pit.  Whew!  We wish the Steedleys could come more often!

This is awesome- you live in the coolest place- and you really do get lots of company! What a fun visit- and all of those girls' sweetness just shines through! I'm going to have to get Sissy a colonial outfit (we're reading Felicity) they are just too cute.
