4th of July Weekend

Over 4th of July weekend Travis, my mom and I took a road trip. We started off our trip by going to Charlotte, NC so Travis could work. Then we visited my cousin Elizabeth. She has been performing in a variety of musicals and it just so happened we got to see her in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Travis has never met her until this trip and it was our first time seeing her perform. She is great to watch on stage! My cousin Tim was also visiting from Florida, we had a great visit with he and Elizabeth.

For our second part of the trip we went to Washington D.C. We were able to visit with my Uncle Jim, Aunt Sarah and cousins Jay and Abby. Travis and I spent the 4th of July touring Washington D.C. and looking at all the monuments. We had a great time touring the city, but we decided that we are definitely going to soak up the sun on the beach before we take Nolan on History tours.

We also celebrated our 1 year anniversary on July 5. I'm not sure where the year has gone, but it has been a lot of fun with a few unexpected, but wonderful changes (i.e. dog and baby). We drove home from Washington D.C. on our anniversary (romatic right?) and when we got home we had a piece of our wedding cake, it wasn't too bad for being in the freezer for a year. It was fun to participate in the tradition of eating a piece of our wedding cake on our 1 year anniversary.
