Babymoon

Part of the trip we spent in Washington DC/ Virginia visiting Steve's brother David, wife Tina and daughter Lydia

We had a fantastic day at the Louray caverns. These caverns were discovered in the early 1800's. It is pretty cool how there is still alot of ornate features after that many humans have been through it. It was also nice to beat the heat in the caverns.


Steve and I at the "bride and groom" formation



Some touristy moments...... too bad we didn't bring our fanny packs.






Highline park in NYC. Lovely lovely. It was built on old high rail tracks (above the streets) Beautiful ! Nice benches for a big ol pregnant lady. I couldn't believe how well I held up for all the walking I did.


Here is the Washington Monument. There aren't really signs explaining why this monument was built. But I guess it was to honor Dear old George Washington. Since there isn't a statue like the Lincoln or Jefferson, I guess they picked this shape randomly..... Just kidding. Apparently it is an obelisk , an ancient Egyptian symbol. I bet a Dan Brown book should tell you all kinds of fictitious theories.


My favorite part. Steve and I got to see the Phantom of the Opera Broadway. WOW! I loved it. I was surprised at how fantastic the special effects were.


Steve of course had to show off in Times Square



Steve's favorite work of art in the MET

My favorite statue at the Met


And of course, Kevin. Willing to let us stay in his studio apartment for three nights and wander around with us for three days. Fantastic brother!

What the heck was Steve climbing on it must of been pretty hard by that big of a crowd.I wonder if they thought it was a street act? Did they tip him? Well I guess he can show of any where.

I once heard someone say that the Washington Monument was a tribute to Bill Clinton. I thought it was appropriate.
