July began on a high note with our visit to Washington DC! Despite the extreme high heat and humidity, it was a blast seeing our Nation's Capital the day before the 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day!
Thanks again to our East Coast family for your generous hospitality!
On our way back to Virginia Beach, we made a stop at the amazing Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, VA! Z loved it too and is still asking to go back!
How to Make a Marine
Ready for boot camp, standing on the famous yellow footprints just as her Daddy did!
This little recruit needed help with her push ups.
Checking out the Marine climbing down the repeal tower, a boot camp favorite.
