8th Grade Graduation


It was a full house for Chase's 8th grade graduation.
We had to stand the whole time.
Chase is looking forward to 9th grade at a brand new high school.



DC


The end of our day. We spent the day in DC with my parents
visiting the Natural History Museum, The Air and Space Museum,
walking up and down the Mall ---exhausted sitting
on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.









The Air and Space Museum. Carter happy

to be with Grandpa.

Annapolis


We spent a day in Annapolis, Maryland
when my parents were here in June. Annapolis
is home to the Naval Academy. The weather
was nice the day we were there. A fun, water front city.






After Annapolis we went to a work party for Chris

at one of his co-worker's home in Maryland.


Memorial Day Weekend


We spent Memorial Day weekend seeing Gettysburg,
Hershey, PA (the hershey chocolate) and seeing
the Amish people in Lancaster County, PA.
Here we are making our own, individualized
chocolate bars at Hershey Chocolate World.
It brought back memories of working in the
Operating Room wearing our mushroom hats.





The kids up in one of the look out towers
on the Gettysburg battlefield.

Dulles Air and Space Museum


We spent the morning at the Dulles Air and Space
Museum for Carter's 8th birthday.
Carter just got off a flight simulator.
