Day 191

Capitol with a capitol C:

Spent the day being tourists in DC!  It really is a surreal feeling being surrounded by buildings that house some of the most influential people in the world. (in good and bad ways).  Sometimes I wish they realized how influential they really are.

Monticello:

Recognize this place?  If not, do me a favor and take out a nickle at look at the back side...
This is Thomas Jefferson's house that he spent almost his entire life designing and building (and re designing and re building for that matter).  Definitely an incredible stop on our trip across the country.

Ryman Auditorium:

We took a tour of the Ryman auditorium during our stop in Nashville.  This is where the Grand Ole' Opry use to be.  Many very famous, talented performers have performed on this stage!  It was a very neat experience.

Day 186

Devastation:

We accidentally ran into the tornado damage in Tuscaloosa, Alabama from April.  It was absolutely heart wrenching to see such destruction.  If you look closely at this picture, you can see books in the bookshelf that weren't even touched, but everything else around them was destroyed.  And this was after about 6 weeks of clean up.  I have never seen anything like this in my whole life.

Beads Galore:

We made a stop in New Orleans and to my surprise there were Mardi Gras beads EVERYWHERE.  This was one of the fun places I found beads.

LA:

Entering Louisiana.

I took a trip from Las Vegas to Washington DC.  I tried to get a picture of each state sign, but I missed West Virginia cause it was too dark.


P.S. Happy Birthday Jimmy

Hot Air balloon Paradise:

First stop on our trip across the country was in Las Vegas!
This is in the Bellagio.  Each season they have a new theme to their garden.  This summer is was something about American, complete with hot air balloons, American flags, a carousel and ferris wheel.  It was absolutely beautiful!
