weekend trip down to DC, MD and VA

this past weekend, Randy & I went to visit Amie & Jeff in MD. One of the places they took us to was The Great Falls, which has awesome views on both the Maryland and Virginia sides.
Here are some cool pics on the VA side

Amie & me
yup, just me :) georgous views!
Next time we are in town, Amie is taking us to the MD side, which also has some awesome hiking trails
one of the days we headed into downtown DC and walked along the Mall. Here we are in front of the Washington Monument. After we visited that, we went into the Holocaust Museum. I was expecting to really be emotional (and it was), but I really enjoyed visiting that museum. Besides the Permanent Holocaust Exhibit, I really enjoyed The Power of Nazi Propaganda Exhibit. I was amazed how many original hand drawn posters they were able to gather (and each one had a miniature right next to it with translation)
oh, no visit would be complete w/o Ames & I looking silly in our 3-D glasses while watching Coraline!
