DC!

So our time in Rexburg came to an end...minus our stuff in a storage unit. We began our trip out east, leaving on Aug 11 (Tuesday) and ending up in DC on that following Sunday. The trip was long, but we broke it up, the first day we drove to North Platte, Nebraska, and 13 hours. The Next day we drove to Nauvoo. Nauvoo was great, we were able to go the Temple and have a great time.

From Nauvoo we drove to Avon, Oh and stayed with out great friends Tyler and Haylie. It was wonderful, they are so cool and we had lots of fun. We spent three days with them, so that was nice to have a break from driving. We saw Amish people and drove around Amish town, so cool. After spending some fun times with them, we hit the road for the final leg of the drive down to DC.

We made it, all 32 hours of it...without AC in the car...I don't recommend that. But it's nice to be here in DC, even though it is so muggy and hot right now. We started our internships, Melyssa has been there a week and a half, and I have been here 3 days. It's a new experience and taking some adjusting, but it should be fun.
