I heart NYC
Times Square
Shannon, Me, & Tiffany
There was this huge bullet biker gang that drove through the streets, there were so many of them all doing tricks and showing off it was pretty sweet!
Danny and I decided to go On Top of the Rock (the second largest building in NY) it was about $20 a person to go up but wow was it worth it! The view was amazing and you would never realize New York is that big until your 70 stories above it. Danny and I decided that this was definatly our favorite thing we did that day! The view was Breathtaking!
Behind me is the Empire State Building
After we went On Top of the Rock we were starving so we ate at the first place we saw which was Sbarro. The pizza was huge and very delicious! :)
New York was defiantly a once in a life time experience that was fun but very overwhemling. The city is huge and never stops moving. It was such a fun trip but at the end of our long day Danny and I decided that New York made us Love Idaho even more! :)

4th of JuLy!
So for the 4th while the boys were working the ladies went to the pool and Rita's. Let me just tell you a little bit about Rita's...it's this place where they serve water ice with ice cream (it's kinda like a slushy but 10 times better!) All of us have decided that this is going to be the main thing we miss about Philly! We need one in Rexburg! It is true about what the sign says..ice.custard. Happiness! :)

Later that day when the boys got home we ended up eating at Red Robin which is one of our favorites!

Hershey, PA :)
So we went to the city of Hershey a few weeks ago and wow is it really the sweetest place on earth. When arriving there all the street lamps are Hershey Kisses..which is so cute! Some are wrapped with the silver wrapping while others are just chocolate. The whole city even smells like chocolate which is marvelous! We went on a tour on how Hershey makes there chocolate which was so amazing to see how long it really takes to make chocolate. After that we ended up just hainging out inside the Hershey building and tasting there marvelous creations. It was such a fun day and we decided that it is a must see if you ever come to visit!!
The street lamps which are chocolate kisses!..so cute!

Washington DC
Since we are surrounded by History we decided to take a trip to Washington DC. There is so much to see and do there. We went to the Air & Space Museum, The Capital, The White House, The Washington Monument, The Lincoln Memorial, and The Holocaust Museum. From taking the Metro and getting a little car sick, to burying Danny's knife in the dirt so that we could go through all the Museums, to walking so far our feet were swollen, all in all we had such a great trip with so many fun memories. After going to all of those places The Holocaust Museum was defiantly the most memorable to Danny and I. They give you a passport with some one's name on it and while walking through it, it tells you there life story and what happened to them after the war was over. When Danny and I walked out of the Holocaust we could feel nothing but gratitude to live in America and to enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy each and every day.

Temple Trip :)
Some of the sweet ladies in our Ward asked if me, Tiffany, and Christine wanted to join them on a Temple trip. We were so excited to go and I couldn't wait to see the Washington DC Temple because I have always heard how beautiful and breath taking it is. If you have never been there it is definatly a must see! While drving down the freeway you see nothing but trees and then you go around the bend and there it is..looking as if it's floating! What a beautiful sight! It was such a blessing to be able to go and feel of the great spirit that the Temple brings! It definatly made me realized how blessed we are to have a Temple only 5 mins away in Rexburg, it took about 2 1/2 hours to get to this one. The members are sure dedicated to going which is such a great testimony builder! We are so blessed and I love this gospel...the only thing that could of made the day better was if Danny was there (I missed you love), but all in all it was a wonderful day!
This is what the Temple looks like while driving down the freeway...Beautiful!
