4th of July weekend in Washington DC

First of all, my sister Wendy is here and we are so excited! It is so nice to see someone in my family. Saturday we had some family come up from PA to see her and it is always so nice to spend time with them. We went to the PA Dutch Market in Annapolis and I can't even describe to you how good the food is. They home make EVERYTHING right in front of you. We bought rolls, whoopie pies, fruit, sandwiches and everything was amazing!
Then Sunday on the National Mall was out of control. Because the Obama's were hosting a party for the troops on the White House lawn, the security was so intense on every street. If Wendy wouldn't have been in town we would have never gone down to battle the crowd of 400,000 BUT it was so worth it. I am so glad that we went.

It was a really long day for Sam, we were laughing when she fell asleep because as you can see she is still holding onto her flag!

This was my favorite picture of the whole day...
