A Blessed Journey: a little change of plans...

So, like I said in my previous post, my parents and Chase and I were planning on going to Baltimore over Easter break to watch the Yankees play the Orioles. We headed out early this morning and we were planning on getting to the hotel around 4. Well about half way into our trip we decided to make a detour and visit a couple of places on our way to the hotel so we would not be bored all afternoon.

My family and I have been blessed multiple times to be able to visit Washington, D.C. however I have never had the chance to see Arlington National Cemetery. Baltimore is only 40 miles from Washington, D.C. and Chase had also never been so off we went. I must make a side note and say that this is very rare for us. We are normally super planned and like to stick to a schedule. But this change up was interestingly awesome and I am glad we stepped outside of the box. The cemetery was absolutely breath taking. It kind of takes your breath away looking and reading the tombstones. The people buried there are true heroes. We were also lucky enough to witness the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. It is simply amazing the dedication the honor guards have there.

After we finished at the cemetery we headed over to Georgetown to find some supper to eat. We found this really neat restaurant and I had a turkey burger that had apples and oats in it. Another side note: I am trying to step outside of the box when it comes to my food. I thought this trip would be the perfect place to start! Anyways the burger was scrumptious and I am glad that I decided to try it. The real reason we went to Georgetown was not just for dinner. We actually wanted to stop by and try some of the famous Georgetown Cupcakes. The shop was made famous by having their own show on TLC, and since I am a TLC fanatic I just had to stop by. The line was super long but boy was it worth it!!!!

I am soooooo glad we decided to take our detour today. I had so much fun with my family and I would not trade this day for anything. We actually had so much fun today that we are leaving a little early tomorrow to head back into DC and visit the American History and the Holocaust Museums before the baseball game tomorrow night. I am super pumped and can not wait. I will leave you guys with some pictures of our adventures. I will try to post again tomorrow with pictures of the game but I am not sure how late we will get in so you might have to wait!!!! Did I mention that I am excited?!?! God has blessed us so much recently and I thank Him everyday. He is the best :) I pray that everybody is having a great Easter break and that your journey is blessed.
