Washington DC

 We spent last week in Washington, DC, and had a great time exploring our nation's capital. It's always good to travel and spend time in a big city, just to be reminded how small we are in this world. And it is good for us to remember that God is in control of all things, including the shaping of our nation, and those who He has placed in positions of authority throughout our history.

Here are some of our favorite photos from the trip. If you would like to see more photos, click here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/waFhBjE3CcwX35bm9

Walking past the White House. This was the closest we could get to it. Secret Service closed the sidewalk past it just as we walked up. Notice the snipers on the roof!
