The BIG TRIP!!!!!

     As some of you may know Blake and I took an AMAZING trip just a couple of weeks ago. My sister and brother-in-law live in Washington DC and we've wanted to go visit them (not to mention Blake served his mission there and he loves to go back and visit whenever he can!). Being that they are only going to live there for the next year or so, it was beautiful spring weather, AND my sister was due to have their second baby, we figured it would be a great time to go! As Blake and I planned the trip we decided it would be fun to take a little road trip from DC up to New York City....and from there the trip just kept getting bigger and bigger, planning more and more fun things along the way! It seriously was SUCH a fun trip :).
    As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words, so instead of typing out and describing to you all about our trip, here are pictures of some of the fun things we did...
