Okay, a little late posting this week due to the fact that we took one last family mini-vacation this weekend. We went to Washington D.C. and I actually thought about Bonnie on several occasions. First of all, we took a train from Lynchburg, VA to Washington D.C. It was a lot of fun. Bonnie of course worked for the railroad and took trains all the time to go places. And, he wrote this year about a trip to Washington D.C. that he and his family took. Also, while visiting the American History museum in Washington we saw a street car from the 1900's and immediately thought of Bonnie and talked about him being on one of those. We really wished we had a lot more time to spend in the American History museum. We had a great day on Sunday of our trip as we spent time in that museum and went to a DC United soccer game that was very exciting. On Monday we spent the morning visiting monuments and memorials. It was fun but a lot of walking. We used the subway a lot while we were there. So, lots of rail travel for us this past weekend.

I am not sure who Johnny Foy is or where he came from. This is the first Bonnie has written of him and yet he gets mentioned quite often this week. Sounds like Bonnie had a great time in Washington D.C. Our family, here in 2012 has also planned a trip to D.C. for later this summer and we also plan on riding a train to DC, do some sight seeing and watch a soccer game. We had a good day at church today with really good attendance, also the church did great helping out a family in need in the community.

In 1927, kind of an eventful week with all of the Lindbergh stuff going on and Mary's labor began! I also thought it was neat that apparently people in Roanoke went outside and looked to the sky to try and see Lindbergh. In 2011, an eventful week here too. Beth had surgery on her hand. Caleb has possibly broken his ankle and we are having the church over to our house tonight.
