We’re really hoping- oh, ever so much!- to visit my brother who lives in Virginia. We’ve been wanting to see him for a few years now, sheesh! The kids are very excited, and we’ve been saving our nickels and dimes to go. We also hope to see Washington, DC, on our way there. I have fond memories of seeing Washington, years ago. I attended the very first “Washington for Jesus” conference at the Washington Memorial. It was such a blast! I got to meet Steve Green, Larnell Harris, Melody Green (Keith Green’s wife), and several congressmen. I went there for a radio show (I was in radio at that time) and it was quite the experience! I didn’t have a chance to see the sights, though. So I’m looking forward to seeing the historic side of Washington, DC.
Plus, my kids are tremendous history buffs, and we could never travel south past Washington without stopping. We’ve already got some ideas for our future Washington dc sightseeing thanks to Trusted Tours & Attractions.com. Have you ever seen this site? It is the best travel site I’ve ever come across, with terrific online travel guides! It has a great listing of attractions and events for the city (as well as various other major U.S. cities) and also has discounts for popular attractions. I love perusing this site. I even signed up for their newsletter to keep on top of things to do in New York. Sign up for the Trusted Travels eNewsletter and you’re entered to win a handheld GPS!

Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side. Read more

That was so odd to read, you see I’m really hoping to visit my brother in Virginia too! I haven’t seen him for 24 years and just found him last year but haven’t been able to visit…
