Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving, my sister Caite and her boyfriend Brian came to visit us for the week. We had something planned for everyday they were here...we wanted to show them all the great things to do here.

On Wed we went to Philadelphia and ate at Geno's with their famous Cheesesteaks. Then we did a tour of the historic area and stopped in at Betsey Ross's house, the liberty bell, Congress hall and the Federal Reserve. The weather was pretty crappy but we had a good time.
We also took them wall climbing....they did a fantastic job for being first timers! I think they were surprised at what a great work out it is.

There's my baby sister making her way to the top!! I was so proud of her :)

We also drove down to DC and spent the day looking at the monuments and checking out the museums. We saw the White House, Capital, Washington and Lincoln Monuments, and the Viet Nam, Korean War, WWI and WWII Memorials. The weather was beautiful for all the walking around that we had to do outside.

This was my favorite memorial in DC....for the Korean War.

To end the week, we went to Boordy Winery were Cait and Brian were able to go wine tasting. It was a beautiful day and a great way to end the week! Wish we could do stuff like this more often!
