Fourth of July!
John and I began the day rock climbing with a couple friends up at Cooper's Rock. We were both a little rusty, but had a great time. Next, was the ward activity. It started off as a BBQ and was supposed to consist of the Olympic Games, but ended up a huge water balloon fight. We then were invited to an evening with the wonderful Cena family which consisted of delicious steak, corn on the cob, and a very American dessert- a Fourth of July trifle. We topped the day off with fireworks at the Waterfront-it was a very busy, but fun day!

DC and Liese times TWO!
The next morning we went on a bike ride towards Mt. Vernon and found several more fallen trees.
Along our path we had the chance to see the Teddy Roosevelt Memorial...John looks just like him, don't you think?

That evening, I got to spend dinner with another one of my amazing friends, also called Lisa. Lisa and I began our days together at 'Carden Memorial.' Lisa took John, Mike and I to a delicious Thai food restaurant in Alexandria. The boys jumped out of the car and made reservations while Lisa and I searched for a parking spot. Afterwards, I wanted to introduce Lisa to Rita (Rita's ice cream that is), but it was also closed....this weekend seemed to be a disaster...we needed ice cream badly. So, to the grocery store we went, then back to Lisa's where Liese met up with us.

Goodbyes

the boys |
The great thing about being in med school and living about a 3-days journey from home is the great friends you make. Basically, your friends become your family. We had the chance to babysit the Weed children, and the two boys, Sam and Gavin absolutely adored John. They kind of liked me, but Johnny was their favorite. We will really miss them!
Making funny faces with the Tippetts and Weed children! |
