Our Malone Family DC Trip

Josh had a conference this past week in Washington D.C., so right after Rebekah was born, we decided she and I would tag along and hang out in a hotel. It only took me a few minutes to realize that Josh's older sister, Rachel, lives there (she sings with a Naval group called the Sea Chanters) and we could see her...then I realized that this trip would afford Josh's parents an excuse to come, too! Little did I know that his younger sister, Sarah, would be in between countries (she's raising support to go long-term to Turkey) and would also be able to come!

The Capital


The Lincoln Monument

My good friend from Texas A&M, Michelle, who is great at stalking me :) and who hooked us up big time with a great restaurant experience and a WEST WING Tour!!!


The Malone clan...this is in front of the West Wing- most WH tours are of the East Wing, but Michelle used to work in the West Wing and was able to pull some strings and get us a great tour, including the Oval Office and Rose Garden.



Sarah, Josh, (me), and Rachel in front of the Rose Garden


Meeting Rachel's boyfriend, Pat, and his 2 children, Emilia & Cuale

Rebekah meeting her Great Aunt Virginia in Delaware...


What you've all been waiting for!




Rebekah with her Nana & Pop



Rebekah found her thumb right before the trip and learned to roll over from her back to her tummy, so now she can roll both ways!!


Just looking cute again...some of her expressions are hilarious!


Dad to the rescue on the plane home...seriously, who takes a baby on 4 plane trips in 1 week?!
