Brandt's Take on DC - 2008

The Brandt family (Kelly, Lisa, Courtney, Carissa, Paige, and Jayden)were the next group to visit us on the East coast. They arrived in DC on July 30, and departed August 8. They began their journey staying at the KeyBridge Marriotte in Arlington and stayed there 3 nights. Finally they came to our place on Saturday and we found that 8 people can live in a 2 bedroom apartment and everyone keep their sanity. Of course they did all the main sight seeing adventures like most of our guests - touring the Capitol, the monuments, some Smithsonians and more. They also spent a couple of days in Hershey PA loading up on chocolate. We had an great time with them and really enjoyed their visit. The kids were absolutely amazing - they were so well behaved which certainly means they have been brought up properly by 2 great parents.


Here we are practicing being Grandparents. We figure we could handle around 10 Grandchildren - hint hint Dustin/Christi/Bryan/Jessica. This picture was taken near the Tidal Basin in DC


Here is the Brandt family at the F.D. Roosevelt Memorial.



4 Good looking girls at the Jefferson Memorial.


Here Paige is doing tricks in the pool!


Here Carissa stopped swimming just long enough for us to get a picture.


More fun in our pool.


Some of those statues look so life like!
