Amy's Trip to Washington DC

Amy's wonderful sister Natalie invited her to visit in Washington DC for a few days, to see the sights, tour the West Wing, go behind the scenes at the Supreme Court, meet Justice Alito, and go to the Barry Manilow concert at the Verizon Center! Amy was ecstatic ---how could she refuse such an offer? So Mike graciously took over the full-time parenting for a few days while Amy shared some priceless sister bonding time with Nat, husband Dave, and nephews Scott, Matthew, and Talmage Moore.


This is the Highest Court in the Land...it's even above the Supreme Court, in a gym upstairs. But it still didn't improve Amy's shot.

You never promised me a Rose Garden, but this one is pretty nice! Great view, too! In this photo are cousin Savanna Burton, who arranged the tour, Amy, and Natalie and Dave Moore and sons Talmage, Scott, and Matthew.



This is the library inside the Supreme Court. (Thanks for the after-hours tour, Dave!)

Aunt Amy and nephew Scott at historic Gadsby's Tavern for lunch in Old Town Alexandria.
We had colonial fare ~ peanut soup and tasty pastries in George Washington and Thomas Jefferson's old hang out.


The Iwo Jima monument is a lot bigger than it looks! (Amy with nephews Scotty and Matthew)



Getting ready to start the West Wing tour, thanks to intern Savanna.
