Bekah, Eric w/Sidney, Andy w/Cloe
Okay so I guess it didn't take 6 months for something "new "to happen. We just returned from a trip to Virginia Beach. Eric's sister called a few weeks ago and asked if he would come and bless her baby Cloe. Of course he said yes which meant I got to plan a vacation in 2 weeks noticed. I'm not complaining... it was actually kinda fun! It was wonderful to visit Sarah.. her husband Andy and to meet little Cloe who is actually 2 weeks older than my little Sidney. On the way down he stopped at the DC temple. I LOVE this temple . I remember as a youth doing temple work there. And as adult visiting a dear friend and doing a session there with her. Its is just an amazing place. The girls were in amazement looking at it . Of course we used that moment to bear our testimony of the temple and all the blessings that go along with the temple and having a Forever family. I'm SOO grateful for that experience!! I hope they will always remember that "special feeling" we all had. The visitor center is awesome and had lots of hands on exhibits for the kids. It also had a full size theater in the basement.
We spent the night about an hour from the temple then in the morning we headed to the beach.
We stayed at a great Hotel right on the beach. The view was awesome!! And the location was great. Lots to do once you were done with the beach for the day.
Okay, thats all for now..... on to Columbus for one last Hurrah before school starts.
Be back in a week!

What a fun vacation!!! I love the D.C. temple, and the beach!!
I'm so glad that hotel worked out for you! Looks sooooo nice! Oh the DC castle...I mean ...temple! I have freinds that got married there even after the Columus temple was open just cause it was thier temple growing up and it is like a castle! Are you goin crazy in C-town! I'm haven't given up hope at all. I have become a very patient person at this stuff. (But I'm glad it's you this time and not me! ) :) Can't wait till school starts! WooHoo!
good for you! getting away makes life easier to contemplate. do it often but always come back. And by the way, we have a wonderful, almost private beach just across the street from us. It's where all my kids learned to swim (yes, IN Lake Erie), where we annually hold bonfires, enjoy the fireworks, and take Jordan's inflatable raft out to just float around and leave the worries on shore.
YAY.. glad to have you back..we missed hearing about you. Thank you for being so concerned about my episode.. it looks like everything will be ok.. you can call me or Terra for details.
