Summer Time
 |
| We celebrated our 27th anniversary this year. We stopped at the MGM in National Harbor to check out their summer display. |
 |
| We then headed across over to National Harbor for dinner with a nice view of the water. |
Grandma and Grandpa visit
 |
| Mom and Larry flew out for Simon's graduation and spent a couple weeks with us. |
 |
| First drink with Paige now that she is 21! |
 |
| So nice to all be together for a family dinner. |
 |
| We went to Arlington National Cemetary and made sure to stop at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. |
 |
| The cemetery is huge so we took the tram around. Some gorgeous views of DC from there. |
 |
| We were waiting for Josh and Larry to catch up to the tram spot and they came around the corner like this LOL! They switched spots which explains why we lost them for a minute lol. |

| Mom and Larry's happy place lol, the casino! Larry was enjoying showing Paige how to do the slot machine. |
 |
| Look at this cat! |
 |
| Out to dinner at a local German resturant. |
 |
| Gotta get a pretzel of course! |
 |
| When you order a beer at the German restaurant and say sure to the large. LOL. I had to use both hands just to lift it! |

| Quantico Marine Corp Museum |
 |
| Paige was supposed to be studying abroad in France this summer, unfortunately, this was a close as she was going to get. |
 |
After Grandpa begged us to stop at the ice cream place every day when we drove by it we finally did!
This picture sums Grandpa up perfectly! We love you Larry! |
 |
| Took them to the White House. |
 |
| Mount Vernon, The home of George Washington, |
 |
| Father's Day |
 |
| So sad to drop them off at the airport to go home. Mom picked up a beautiful new suitcase and backpack while she was here! |
 |
| 4th of July. We sat out in our driveway and watched all the neighborhood fireworks. It sounded like a war zone with stuff in all directions. |
Due to Covid, Paige's travel abroad trip to France was canceled and her classes ended up virtual. She came and stayed 3 weeks with us to finish up her classes that were very early in the morning due to it being in France.
 |
| We took a day trip to Annapolis Maryland |
 |
| Had some yummy food and drinks |
 |
| This was as close to Paris as she was going to get this year :( |
 |
| Taste of France |
 |
| Crepes |
 |
| We bought some French wine in Annapolis and bought some French cheese and enjoyed a snack |
 |
Paige took Nixon on a road trip through Texas and New Mexico. This was White Sands New Mexico. They also stopped at a few famous gravesites. Buddy Holly, Bonnie and Clyde, Billy the Kid, and Dennis Hopper.
|
 |
| One of their stops was Roswell New Mexico. |
While Nixon was on the trip with them Simon was in TN visiting a good friend so Tim and I had the house to ourselves for the first time ever.
 |
| For Tim's birthday and childless lol, we drove up to the third largest mall in the US in Pennsylvania. We were amazed by how big it is. It was absolutely Huge! |
 |
| While there we found a restaurant we have been searching for for about 18 years. We ate at one many years ago when we were in Colorado and have looked for another one ever since. |
 |
| Tim officially graduated with his Bachelor's in Business Management in Feburay but the commencement was held in July. So proud of him and all the hard work he put in. He kept going through a move, his very busy job here, and a pandemic. |
