Mount Vernon/Utah

On Fathers Day Matt and I decided to take a little trip down to Mount Vernon-home of George Washington, the father of our nation. It was super crowded and we waited in line for over 2 hours to just see the inside of the house, but it was worth it. The last time I went to Mount Vernon they were remodeling and adding a huge visitors center so it kinda sucked. But now almost 8 years later my opinion has changed and I really liked our adventure. The only down side to our trip was that we forgot to charge our camera so the battery died after only 3 pictures....but thankfully they invented camera phones so we got a few more pictures.

The next day I flew home to Utah to enjoy a week back home with the family. Matt was able to join me two days later and we took full advantage of our time water skiing. We also were able to see Transformers with some of Matt's siblings- liked the movie, but they built up the sex-appeal a little too much if you ask me.




The real reason Matt and I headed to Utah last week was for Aaron and Daina's wedding. We were able to go to the temple as they were sealed. This was pretty cool because it was the first wedding/sealing I've been to besides my own. We were honored to go and had a fun day down in SLC and enjoyed their reception with Matt's brother Val and his wife Ashlee and their two adorable kids!
