As you all know, Cory and I are spending our first summer of being married, living in Virginia! Well, there is so much to do here and literally NO TIME to do it, so we've decided to make a to-do list to get it all going. If you didn't know I don't function well without a to-do list!

Washington DC temple!
We finally got to go and do something fun since we've been here in Virginia. We decided to go to the DC temple since its only about 45 minutes away from us. Cory didn't get done selling until about 5pm and after a quick stop at our favorite CHICK FIL A for some sweet sweet chicken we were on our way. It, of course, was raining all day long so when we got there we were a little concerned with getting super wet to take some pictures, and then we realized that our camera was dead!!! Good thing we had our phones with us! 
The DC temple is beautiful and the windows are done out of blue glass, seriously incredible! It was so nice to go out and be alone with my awesome hubby! On our way home the trusty GPS got a little confused and we were taken down some dark and dreary alley way in Maryland! Of course we wanted some sight seeing, but maybe we should be more specific of what we'd like to see next time! The whole drive home it thunder stormed and was so awesome! Cory of course wanted to get out and play in it! He's so cute!
