This Saturday was our stake's temple trip. Michael and I drove down to D.C. with our friends Ted and Stefanie. The weather was pretty crummy in Philadelphia when we left, overcast and drizzly, and only got worse as we drove closer to the temple. We drove through some pretty bad rain in Delaware and Maryland. Surprisingly, by the time we got to the temple, the sun was out and the sky was beautiful and blue.
There was a meeting at the temple at 11:30 and while Ted and Michael went to it, Stefanie and I went to the visitors center. Currently, they have a great photography exhibit titled, "Reflections of Christ". It is a great exhibit, filled with many inspiring photographs that chronicles the life of Jesus Christ. You can see the exhibit and learn more about it at the website: http://www.reflectionsofchrist.org.
After the meeting, we met Ted, Michael and our friends Emily and Luke at the temple to perform some baptisms. We had a really great time together and I especially enjoyed my first trip to the temple.
When we were finished, we met our friends Mike and Cameron (who live in Virginia just outside of DC) for dinner. We ate at Ruby Tuesdays (I was so happy to eat those mini burgers!). It was so good to see them, especially since we know they will be moving to Texas in February, so the more we can see them before then the better.
Finally, after all this activity, we drove back home. It only takes about 2 hours to make the trip, so its not too bad. We had great conversation, so the time passed quickly. The only downside to this whole trip was that Mike has been sick since Wednesday. He lost his voice on Friday night and has not been able to talk since. Our house is very quiet these days! He is resting and starting to feel better, but still under the weather, so send some good healthy thoughts and prayers his way!
