Enjoying Dianne and Chuck

We are having such a good time with Dianne and Chuck!

We went to Arlington Monday afternoon.
(Alden and I both had to work this day ~
and Dianne and Chuck enjoyed the art galleries
at the Smithsonian and the beautiful weather).

Our (Dianne and I) parents are buried here.

Very sweet time.

How beautiful Arlington is in the Fall.

We enjoyed dinner at one of our favorite places ~
