We had a wonderful time during our visit. Jess and I cooked a delicious dinner of roasted chicken, homemade pasta and sauted asparagus for the boys and spent hours catching up over glasses of sparkling and red wine on Friday. Saturday was spent playing with the dogs, eating delicious food all over Capitol Hill on a walk/food tour and taking in the beautiful night sky in downtown DC while Sunday was filled with homemade banana pancakes and a round of golf. I simply cannot convey how proud I am of my beautiful friend and our country's military. Please take a moment today to say a prayer and thank our soldiers for sacrificing time with their families and friends to protect our nation.
