Our Quick, but Super Trip to D.C.

Matt, Kadie, Lila, Michelle, and Rileigh Check
Lyle, Melanie, & Tanner
Jimmy, Jon, Tanner, and Isaac

Lyle and I drove to Washington D.C. to spend a little time with Tanner and also to attend the Temple Sealing of our great friends, Matt and Michelle Check and their daughters.

Friday evening, August 5, we had a great visit with Tanner and his friends, Isaac, Jimmy, and Jon, while eating dinner at Appleby's at midnight in Stafford, Virginia!

Saturday we met several friends at the temple and enjoyed the day - the Checks, Fuhrimans, Williams, Heemeyers, Harris', Southams, and Stirlings. Breanna Mancuso was there to help with all of the children. Tanner and his friends helped out and enjoyed the temple grounds as well.

As soon as the Sealing was complete, Breanna and I dropped Lyle off at the Baltimore Airport so that he could catch a late flight to Salt Lake City. I was glad to have Breanna along for the drive home. She was good company. We drove through a tremendous rainstorm and got home around 10:30 p.m. Lyle arrived in Salt Lake City late, and Nic picked him up and took him home with him for a couple of days' worth of great activities!
