we did it!!--I mean we--went East and loved it

fun park in harrisonburg--castle shaped jungle gym

lampost in hershey pennsylvania that look like candy kisses

getting reaquainted--laughing --teasing each other --having grass fights and pillow fights all the best part and main purpose of the trip--(mission accomplished)

loved being in Harrisonburg the most--so much fun being at Brad and kerri's and kaci's was the best part of the whole entire trip

enjoyed watching the girls /polvaulting and other events at the district track meet and enjoy watching kerri from a distance --coach her polvaulters

here is the pit

dad at the waterfall--

goofing around at the track meet

kaci loves to swing--so papa call swung with her lots and pushed ler lots too--they became buddies as the week went on--and she wasn't scared of me by weeks end--she'd read books with me and laugh

kaci beeping papa call's nose and giggling on one of our many car excursions to get to fun places--she was soooooo patient to buckle up and off we went

pennsylvania street--notorious--as each pres drives down this street on inaguaration day

jefferson monument at night--we saw lots on the night tours as far as monuments

the garden spot--fun playing in the dirt--the neat thing about a garden in virginia is you plant and the clouds water it for you--as the days go by (:



so fun seeing the campus of James Madison and looking around the building where brad is most of the time--love love love the campus and the gardens on the campus

kaci and papa call watched little mermaid together on video-(and liked it!) well mostly he liked the -bonding time--and restful

fun walking in what they call the mall of DC and seeing the capitall and then turning around to see the washington monument--sort of blurring in this pic but sooooooo pretty at night

a 'GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL" so much to see and do--so little time --but we loved everything that we did do soooooo much fun...other highlights --I was able to look at painting at the smithsonian --wanted to do that all of my life--*went to the patomic river and a walkway by that* went to gettysburg* went to arlington's cementary--saw the changing of the guards--went to church went to natural history museum--*space musueum, archives where the declaration of Independance is displayed--lots of yummy food prepared for us by brad and kerri

out to eat ice cream too--and city parks and feed ducks and swing in the back yard and parks and play at jason and dadra's house--and more parks and fun fun fun..it was all like a wonderful dream--like going to "narnia" in the witch, and the wardrobe---it was an adventure and hard to leave the beauty and come back--but where ever I wander or roam--there is no "place like Home" when I was re-entering slc on the plane and saw the snow capped mountains--I smiled too..so needless to say--I've done a lot of smiling the last 10 days--good times--enough to last me a life time--

at dust--capturing the monument in the background while at the WWII monument

remember both grandpa Call and grandpa Gertsch were in the WWII so it meant a lot to us

we giggled a lot at the virginia safari petting zoo the animals really came close up to the car looking for that white bucket of food--sooo fun we drove through 3 x's and laughed every time

kaci being cute in one of the garden's up in DC she loved the purple flowers and says "purple" and a bunch of other things so cute

hiked to a beautiful water fall and loved the hike

some of the state we visted were; maryland, washington DC, virginia, and pennsylvania all were lush and pretty and green and we had a blast!! and the prettiest thing we saw the whole trip was pretty little Kaci--here are more pics of the trip
