My daughters and I are having a great time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming! The mountains capped with blazing white snow....I never seem to tire of the mountain view. The Grand Tetons are unbelievable.

My daughters and I drove two days to reach Jackson Hole. We love road trips together... we always take a book series on tape to listen to during the long drive. On our last trip we listened to the entire Harry Potter Series. This trip we are listening to the Twilight series books...equally as wonderful as Harry Potter.

We have enjoyed Yellowstone National Forest, horseback riding, white water rafting and we drove to Idaho...looking at land and property in the area. Could we someday find a home here?

I am the daughter of an Army Officer. For my entire life we moved and were transferred from one town to another or from one country to another. It was a privilege to grow up seeing many different areas of our beautiful United States of America. It was also a privilege to grow up and live in foreign countries where we had opportunity to learn new cultures, language and represent our country abroad.

travel to Washington DC and enjoy our Nation's Capital!

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial, modeled after the Pantheon of Rome, is America's foremost memorial to our third president. As an original adaptation of Neoclassical architecture, it is a key landmark in the monumental core of Washington, DC The circular, colonnaded structure in the classic style was introduced to this country by Thomas Jefferson. Architect John Russell Pope used Jefferson's own architectural tastes in the design of the Memorial. His intention was to synthesize Jefferson's contribution as a statesman, architect, President, drafter of the Declaration of Independence, adviser of the Constitution and founder of the University of Virginia.
