Well as many of you know, we headed out to D.C. for the Summer! Stuart has an internship out here with a commercial construction company. We are both really excited! In order to get here we had to drive across the ENTIRE country (basically). It was surprisingly enjoyable and we loved being able to see new parts of the country. So this was our route with all of our stops. We were really lucky to be able to stop with friends and family all along the way. The stops were Denver, Iowa City, Nauvoo, and Aurora (IL). The trek was scheduled for 5 days, but we decided to cut it a little short and plow through the last day making it 4 days total. Talk about numb-bum...
about 2,000 miles!
Beautiful Colorado Mountains
Beautiful Car Photo (Yes we were still driving. Yes we were careful)
This was in Illinois where we ate lunch. They have the coolest old buildings
The bridge at Ft. Madison to get across the Mississippi
The beautiful Nauvoo Temple. It was really cool to be there in Nauvoo together and to feel of the spirit that is in that place. And there are lots of feisty sister missionaries too.
This is the sweetheart tunnel in Nauvoo
My last missionary apartment in Burlington, IA. So cool to be back in my mission again.
This is how excited we were when we finally arrived in Potomac!
And this is where we get to live in Maryland. It is a very cute apartment above their garage. We have been very blessed and are very grateful to the Harrisons for letting us live with them.
So glad you made it safe! I have always wanted to drive across country, but now that we are staying in California I don't see that happening any time soon:) I'm sure it was quite the adventure. Your new place looks amazing and I would agree that you guys are blessed to have wonderful friends to help out! Love you both and wish you the best this summer.
