they were each appointed seats to the House of Representatives!! Just kidding. We actually just went on a fun weekend trip to Washington D.C.
Roosevelt once said, "Speak softly, and carry a big stick." D.C. is in fact the home of America's largest and pointiest stick, which can be seen in the background above. This explains why Roosevelt indeed spoke so very softly.
Just as we have with so many of our other beloved visitors, we all went to Duke Gardens.
We never grow tired of the gardens, because different flowers have been in bloom each time and the tulips were particularly big and beautiful this time. You can't quite see the scale on this picture, but the top of the flower goes up to about where my neck is.
It was such precious time and it went by so quickly. Thanks so much for making the trip to see us!
