The Land of the Presidents

---

Grace's favorite college football team (the USC Trojans) were making a rare trip to the East coast the play the Virginia Cavaliers. With family living in the Charlottesville area and friends in the DC area, it gave us the perfect excuse to visit this wonderful part of the country again. It also happened that the Washington Nationals were in town, so we were able to get another baseball park out of the way.
