The Phillips' Take DC

So I don't think I had even alluded in my blog to the fact that my brother and mom were coming up to visit me in DC--I definitely meant to earlier this week but the week got away from me and I barely posted at all!!

Regardless, my brother and mom are here right now! We are in our hotel getting ready for our second night here actually. They got in yesterday morning, went on a tour of the Capitol while I was at work, and then I met them in Crystal City. Last night we just relaxed and went to a "Wine in the Garden" low-key concert near our hotel. Today we probably walked a few miles on the National Mall, and visited the Air and Space Museum, National Aquarium, White House Visitor Center, and saw the Washington Monument. 

It is great to have them here, and to be able to show them around for a few days (they leave Monday night). We're planning to meet up with my cousin Matt at some point tomorrow as well! 

Here are some pictures to enjoy :) 

Bro Ro and I in front of the White House! (He is thrilled.)

Mom with the space shuttle--her dad (my grandpa, of course), worked in Cape Canaveral.
We saw the SkyLab too. Cute to see my mom excited about this kind of stuff.

P.S. I finished my 2nd rotation this past Friday! So my official time in the Students for Life office is over, although I'll likely be there for at least a few days in the next 3 weeks. My next rotation (starting Monday) is supposed to be at CareNet, a pregnancy resource center. However, they don't have the capacity they expected to have for 2 interns at once, so Leslie and I are probably going to split the time in half. I've got a lead on some volunteer time with another pregnancy resource center that's kinda on our way, Life Choices. So it's kinda up in the air where I will be next week! I'll keep you posted. 

A post about last weekend coming soon!
