Family Visit

June has turned into family month. With visitors almost every weekend we have had a great month so far. Two weeks ago the in-laws and the in-law grandparents came to visit us. Gram and Pap had never been to our new house so it was nice to have them see the place. We were able to spend some good quality time together. On Saturday we went to see The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. I had only ever been outside the church and not inside. I had no idea how beautiful it was inside. We went to mass on Saturday afternoon so it was a nice experience to be there with family. I have put a few pics of the church below, but they really don't do it justice.

On Sunday we "christened" our new dining room table at the house. Mike and I just bought new furniture so Sunday was the first day we were able to use it. Donna made her always delicious braciole and gram made her famous apple pie. So it was a great way to end the visit. All in all it was a great visit and nice to spend time with family. I have a few pics of our meal that I will upload later.

The following weekend my mom and Nana came down to do some cooking as well. This weekend Mike's sister and family will be visiting and we will be heading to the boat. I can't wait to swim with my nieces and pull them around in our inner tube. I think it will be a great time and I will be sure to share pictures next week.
