Fourth of July

Joe's sponsor mom from USAFA invited us to her pad in Rosslyn, along with her boyfriend (Steve) and Steve's son Steve, daughter-in-law Julie, and their kids. We had a fantastic time hanging out with everyone, and the firework show on the lawn of the Marine Corps Memorial was most memorable.



All the girls pose pretty.
