My father, sister, and I took a trip out to National Harbor on Wednesday and we had lunch together and strolled around the harbor and stores. The weather was beautiful!

The Awakening statue at National Harbor
There is a sculpture at National Harbor called “The Awakening,” of a 70-foot (21 m) statue of a giant embedded in the earth, struggling to free himself. It’s a little unnerving to look at.

 

Fearless.

High five!

We are loving being near our family and getting to spend so much time together during this holiday season! 🙂
