Road Trip to DC...

I can't believe that it's been a year exactly this week that I drove back to DC with Ashley... It was so much fun and so exhausting .  We drove from sun up until sun down 4 straight days.  It always puts a smile on my face when I think of some of the funny things that happened to us...



We didn't have time, or we didn't time it right, to stop and see very much but Ashey wanted to see the motel that is now a museum where Martin Luther King was assassinated .....
We stopped at the college Ashley went to as a freshmen in Virigina......
And of course Graceland....


Here is the view from Ashley's apartment.  That's a mall behind those Condos...
They call this area little Provo because there are so many Mormons in this area...
A view from her room...
The living room....
We had a couple of hours to see some sights-The Washington Monument..
The Lincoln Monument...

oops.. this is out of order..and her dining area...
Miss you everyday Ash.....

OH MY GOSH!! How stinkin fun is that! I am way jealous! I want to go on a road trip....wait, maybe not that long of one, but what a fun time it looks ike you two had! And those cute pics of Carson and Caden. My nephews have called me mom before and it's just cute. They'll learn soon enough so why correct them? But definitely correct that Carson, you don't even look like a Grandma. Good times!

You are always such a good sport to roadtrip with your peeps to get them to their destinations...and all the fun stuff on the way! I can't believe that was a year ago! Cute post about the boys...YES, always accept being called mom over grandma in public :)

You are so funny!!! I have to say that I remember when you turned 30, and I don't think you look any different now then you did then. you are definitely a "hot mom/grandma"!!! I didn't know that Ashley went to Southern Virginia college. Did you know that I went there my freshman year? Seeing those pictures brought back so many memories, and seeing all those sights in Washington D.C. I loved living back east!!! So fun!!!

Hi Klepingers! This is Emily Whittemore (used to be Erickson). I found your blog on my sister's so I'm not a true blogstalker :) What a fun trip you had with Ashley! Tell her I said HI! Her apartment is way cute and has some nice views! And you look great--as beautiful as ever!!
