check off the bucket list

River Rafting on the Salmon River. I was able to mark river rafting off my bucket list a couple weeks ago.
It was mine and Rusty's first time river rafting. We took the long journey to Riggins with 2 of my greatest friends, Jill and Niki, and their husbands. We spent a day on the river with Alan as our guide and the best one ever.
Thanks guys for the great time. I am now a lover of river rafting and highly recommend the Salmon River.

I'm Proud to be an American

To celebrate the 4th of July we headed to Washington DC with some friends and had a blast. We visited the monuments on a bus tour and saw the changing of the guard at Arlington Cemetery and enjoyed a day there. To see the 4th fireworks show we had to claim a spot on the hill behind Washington Monument 5 hours before the show. While waiting we got rained on a few times. The fireworks show was great. All the firesworks seemed extra big.




Thanks Sasha, Josh, Mildred, Tehra and Andrew for the great time.



Rusty enjoyed a little debate with this guy who has been across the street from the White House since 1981. A little fun fact: Rusty loves politics and would like to be a Senator some day. So vote for him when he runs!!!

I loved Mount Vernon

I am excited to visit DC again someday. There are so many other things I want to see and do. So many people told me before we left that you can't see everything in one trip, I found out that is true.
