Calista on the Danae in front of the Washington DC temple. A nice stroll around the temple on a beautiful evening.

Calista's first time at the "driving range"! :) For my birthday, Danae signed me up for a stake golf tournament, so we came to the range to get me into shape. My team took second place (of three teams), and I actually received a trophy for longest drive (don't worry, I recognize it was a fluke).

And her first Shakespeare! We went to Shakespeare in the Park (The Tempest). As you can see she was thoroughly enthusiastic about being there.

We took a tour of the U.S. Capitol Building. What you do not see in the yellow suit on the left is Hillary Clinton rushing to the floor to cast her vote.

The beautiful ceiling of the Capitol's dome. The statue of Liberty could fit underneath the dome – yes, the ceiling is pretty high.

We then went swimming at Damon and Clair's hotel pool. I had to keep reminding Calista to stop diving!

Danae & Jerry out to dinner for a fun evening together to celebrate my 30th Birthday. (Yes, I know, I am now old.) This was the first time we left baby girl Calista with baby sitters other than family members to go out, just the two of us.

Our wonderful babysitters: Rae Carole and Sarah Tekeste. Calista didn't even cry, until we got there to pick her up. She loves the Tekestes!

We then went home to open presents (and put Calista to bed).

I received a wonderful scrapbook to remind me of some of the things my family remembers from my first 30 years. It's interesting to see what some people remember (whether correct or not :)) about me!
What happened this week ...
The GA Canns came to visit (Damon, Clair, Cambria and Ian). We had a lot of fun together seeing many sites in the area.
I also turned 30 years old!
Love,
Jerry, Danae and Calista
