These are some pictures of our trip to Washington DC in the summer of 2002. We took a trip to see one of Maria's good friends since elementary school, Dawn Wilson, be wed to her longtime friend, Walter Martin. Since we were in DC, we took advantage of seeing all the cool museums and historical monuments of the USA. We had a great time! |
