Fun in the Sun

Even though it was extremely hot, we managed to get out a little and have some fun. I think I lost 2 lbs after all the sweating.

"The Montgomery Biscuits Baseball Game"

Believe it or not, the city had a contest for naming the new baseball team and they chose "Biscuits". That's what I call being COUNTRY and proud of it!!

The Montgomery Civil Rights Memorial

As you may know, Montgomery was instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement. We visited the Southern Poverty Law Center which not only continues to fight for equal rights of all people, but offers a tour that encompasses the years throughout the Civil Rights Movement. You go back in time via a movie and then you get to sign your name on the "Wall of Tolerance". I'll give it 5 stars!

"The circular fountain provides a timeline of important events in the Civil Rights Movement, beginning in 1954 with the Supreme Court decision to integrate American schools (Brown vs. the Board of Education) and ending with Dr. King's murder in 1968. It also records the names of 40 men, women, and children who lost their lives working for social justice." SPLC

"The Riverfront"
Recently we all took a trip to my hometown. It was a lot of workgetting everyone ready for the trip and the airport was crazy. You should have been there. We won't talk about the 20 minutes of solid screaming Teagan did because she wanted out of her car seat. It was all worth it, and I shouldn't be getting homesick for at least another 6 months. :-)

Lounging on the Potomac

For those of you who've never visited VA, here's a little taste of the good life. Yes, I'm sure you can sail around here somewhere; I'm just partial to the Eastern US.

Relaxing on the Potomac

Hi All!! The Sloan's of Idaho are finally going global. This is my first attempt at creating our blog, so be patient. We all know I have very little spare time. Whatever that is. Some of you may already know, but Tori & I went to Washington DC for a graduation recently. This is the two of us relaxing on the Potomac River down in Old Town Alexandria, VA. It was great!
