Koloa, Kauai, Hawaii
After walking for a long time, I sat and RELAXED as I watched surfers try to catch the perfect wave.

Preparing for our Next Trip
North Salt Lake, Utah
I went and got my nails done as I was preparing for our next trip. I told Young, who has done my nails for a long time, to smile, so I could take a photo of my feet with her in it, she follows me on Instagram so she knew what that meant and she moved out of the photo, I told her no, I want you in it, so I got this photo of my feet with Young in it, as she giggled! This was the perfect place for me to RELAX!!
Waiting for the Train
Boston, MassachusettsProphet Joseph Smith
Sharon, Vermont
Here, at the birthplace of the Prophet Joseph Smith, I RELAXED and contemplated what happened on this spot on the 23rd of December 1805. The greenery throughout Vermont is spectacular.

Harmony, PennsylvaniaAcross the Potomac River
Washington D. C.
It was a warm day in Washington DC, so Craig and I got some bottled water and then I put my feet up and RELAXED as I looked across the Potomac River at the Jefferson Memorial.
President Thomas Jefferson, 1801-1809, said; “Do you want to know who you are? Act! Action will delineate and define you!”

Washington D. C.
Craig and I went on a tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and it was very interesting! You can’t take photos inside, so this was the perfect place to RELAX and take a photo before going on the tour. As you go on the tour it is interesting because you actually see them making money, you see piles of money, amazing. Inside their was a saying on a wall, ‘Just think how I feel I printed my life time salary in a few minutes.’
Reflecting Pond
Washington D. C.
It was a beautiful, sunny day as the clouds reflected in the Reflecting Pond, a great place to sit and RELAX. Ahead is the Lincoln Memorial celebrating the life of a man who once said; “My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.”

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Across the top of Benjamin Franklin’s tomb people drop penny’s for good luck and in remembrance of his sage advice; ‘A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED’. His tomb is very simple, just as he requested, with his wife buried next to him. Near by on a wall are some words that the young Benjamin Franklin wrote, never intending them to be used;
The Body of B. Franklin, Printer, ~ Like the Cover of an old Book, ~ Its contents torn out, ~ And stript of its Lettering & Guilding, ~ Lies here, Food for Worms. ~ But the Work shall not be lost, ~ For it will, as he believed ~ appear once more ~ In a new & more perfect Edition ~ Corrected and improved ~ By the Author.
Independence Hall
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
One of the nice things about Philadelphia is that all or most of the historical things are within walking distance, so after a great walk & seeing some really cool places, it was time for a sit, so I put my feet out and RELAXED! As I did this I thought of freedom and my gratitude to all those who went before and gave so much!! In 1776 Benjamin Franklin said, when referring to being unanimous in signing The Declaration of Independence, ‘we must hang together, or we will be pretty sure to hang separately.’
