Philadelphia / New York

We went to Philadelphia to see Tricia's sister graduate. Since we were so close to NY, we figured a trip to the city that never sleeps was necessary. WOW! What a city! There was more concrete, pavement, people, skyscrapers, food, billboards, and taxis than we have ever seen. And a very beautiful city as well. Great architecture and georgeous views (as long as they are mostly straight up).

We also got a chance to visit 'ground zero' as well as the Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square, and Grand Central Station. Our trip ended with a visit to Atlantic City, NJ as we strolled along the casino boardwalks at sunset.

Washington D.C.

How do you see all the sights of Washington D.C., the nations capital, in 1 day? We would not know how to answer that question until after this trip... because we literally must have walked 15-20 miles of the D.C. mall, checking out all the sights we could in just 1 day. We knew we would not have more than 1 day in D.C., so made the most of it. But our legs and feet were not as pleased with our performance. Oh well, maybe we just need to be in better shape...

Dominican Republic

While attending Dunwoody Community Church in Atlanta, Georgia, we were excited to join 3 Jr. High girls for a missions trip to the Dominican Republic. We helped facilitate a second story addition to a local church in the heart of Santo Domingo, DR. We enjoyed a few sight-seeing excursions from Christopher Columbus' tomb to a small boat ride in a below-ground cave.

We also spent a day with Compassion International, a christian organization helping release children from poverty. We learned how they educate the children, how they find jobs for them once they graduate, and how we could help support children just like the ones we were seeing along the roads as we traveled through the towns.
