It's the smile that got me

Lyle and I just went on a vacation to Maryland to visit friends and to also experience some of the DC area, as well as Philadelphia.  However, with everything we did and saw, there are just a couple of pictures that captured the funnest times while there.   The above picture is Lyle and Stan flying a kite.  They had so much fun!  

We took a drive up to Ocean City and Asseteague Island.  Here we're fighting the wind trying to get back up to the Boardwalk at Ocean City.  We were laughing so hard we could have, well, you know.....:)

We got to hang out with America's finest.  Now that's something to smile about!

Valora and I were especially fond of these guys!  

This was such a moment for Valora and I.  We watched our men communicate, as only men know how.  :)  You know we were smilin' about it!  

The "Rocky" stairs in Philadelphia.  Oh, yeah, I'm smilin' about our run up to the top. WHATEVER!

This was indeed the best moment of the night we went to the dinner theatre to see "Happy Days".  

We were not happy about the play, and left at intermission....but our husbands compliments sure made us smile!  

This was taken in Union Station.  We took the Subway to here, and then caught a tour bus to tour DC.  It was raining the whole day we were there.  BUMMER.  But we're still smilin' cuz it was still a fun day!

In front of our Nations Capital....Freedom, now that's something to smile about!

And our friends, Stan and Valora were with us.  That was the best part.  Thanks Palmers!

The White house.  We weren't able to get close because of security, but it was wonderful to see it. 

Valora is pointing to the First Lady's garden.  She wanted to get closer, but we had to make her behave.

It was raining, but we're still smilin!

Our next stop was Lethe and Tristan's house for dinner!  We had so much fun!  Lila kept us entertained!

TACO SALAD!  Yum!  I'm smilin' just thinking about it!

By far, even with all the fabulous things we did and saw, the place that made us smile the most was this:

The Washington DC temple

We loved our time in the temple, with our dear friends.  

Thank you so much, Stan and Valora. 

We'll be smiling a long time as we remember our time with YOU.
