Washington DC - Ford's Theatre

While in Washington DC we went to Ford's Theatre and it was great.  While working at The Venetian, I have had the pleasure of meeting several of the women who work at Ford's Theatre and they always offer a private tour any time I am in the area so while we were there, we took them up on the offer.  The Theatre was recently restored and looks amazing but our favorite part was the museum downstairs.  We were given a private after hours tour and it was the best part.  So many artifacts to see...even the actual gun that Booth used to shoot President Lincoln.

Gettysburg...Palmyra...Buffalo...Niagara Falls

After 4 days in Washington DC, we decided to go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to see the battlefield then to Palmyra, New York to see Hill Cumorah, Joseph Smith's home and the Sacred Grove then we went to Niagara Falls, Canada then back to Buffalo, New York where we flew home from.  We had a lot of fun and Hunter is already planning a return trip.

Hiking In Moab

Hunter had never been to Moab and it had been 10 years since I had been so we decided to take a road trip.  It was a long drive but definitely worth it.  The view from "Delicate Arch" is amazing.

Hunter had no problem making the hike.

News Anchor

On a recent day out of school, Hunter was invited to visit the Channel 8 news studio.  While there he was given a tour, watched a commerical shoot & was even able to try out the news anchor desk.  I think he looks pretty good in that chair.  Could this be the start of a career?
