A Day at Nats Town (vs Giants)

July 4th Weekend

Nothing like family time than wearing matching Old Navy "Flag" shirts on the Fourth of July.

July 4th Weekend

Jacob and mommy go hiking at the Bull Run Battlefields, Manassas, VA

100* F searing heat? No problem...

Staying cool at the nearby Atlantis Waterpark, Bull Run Regional Park...

It's not a Fourth of July without fireworks, right?

(Pardon, can't rotate the video view it in portrait view.)
