Good Easter Morning Washington DC!

Here are some photos from the Easter Sunrise Service at the Lincoln Memorial. It really was not that difficult to attend this morning... even with children. Our kids wake up very early anyways so we just woke them up a little earlier and they were very excited. We got in the car around 5:15am and arrived and was parked on Constitution Ave by 5:45am.

Here we are sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. So memorable!

This was the beautiful view while listening to some awesome music.

The pictures don't do it justice. We would highly recommend it to anyone who is in DC for Easter. Ellen was a little active but we contained her in the backpack (thank you Carrie!)

After the sun rose...

Beautiful weather outside...

Nate and I really liked the "mix" of people there. Many young professionals made up the crowd (with their Starbucks cups) but also there were many older people and and joggers and white dresses/hats and young families and Amish.

We were also very impressed with how professional and detailed the service was. It was all easy to hear, ushers were everywhere, seats were rented, bulletins handed out...

But most of all, it was an awesome way to put Easter into perspective and celebrate that

Jesus WAS RISEN!
