Last Thursday was a random gorgeous day! It was one of those days where ya just wake up and feel perky and happy because of the sunshine streaming in through the curtains. We had planned on visiting the D.C. temple Friday, but decided why not Thursday? We took advantage of the pretty day and brought along the camera to snap some pictures of the temple. Kev took all the pictures- and some are remarkably beautiful! For anyone in this area- have you gone to all the antique shoppes that surround the temple? I never noticed before, but surrounding the book store is the sweetest little neighborhood I have ever seen, mingled with antique shoppes! We went in and out of a few,but our rumbling tummies took over and food became the priority. I'd love to know if anyone has a favorite lunch spot or store they always visit when going to the temple. We always go to my favorite little French cafe/bistro- a small chain called Le Madeleine. We always eat too much there.
this makes me happy. DC has always been my favorite temple -- it was where my parents were married :)
ReplyDeleteOh I just LOVE that temple!!! You are lucky to live so close to it. We are actually coming out to Deleware, Bethany Beach to be exact, in June! I am not sure how far of a drive it is from where you live but we would love to see you. I will keep you posted on the exact dates. Miss and love you tons!!!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love that picture of you and Kevin at the top of your blog. You look absolutely gorgeous and the picture totally captures Kevin's personality. Makes me smile every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I know the exact neighborhood you are talking about. We never really explored the antique stores as missionaries, but we always loved to eat at a place called Continental when we went to the temple. It is across the street from Safeway and next to 7-Eleven. Subs and pizza-delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteAh I LOVE this temple! It's huge and in such a pretty area! You guys are so lucky you get to go here! What a fun date! Enjoy the green for me while I enjoy the sage brush for you!
