Crazy July for the Denver DeGraw's

We have had a crazy July.  I was sent to Washington D.C. in the first week of July for a business trip for two and a half weeks.  Krista wanted to come out with me since there was a free hotel for the whole time.  We looked at flying but instead, she just decided to drive with the kids.  So a few days after I flew into D.C., she started out driving.  They stopped in Kansas City, MO.  Then drove another day to Indianapolis, IN.  And the last day all the way to D.C.  It was both good and bad having them there.  I was working crazy hours (16 hours a day) and they were going out and playing all the time.  I have to say that I would rather have had them there than not - hotel rooms can be lonely.  After the first week or so, work relented a little and I was able to go to church with them on Sunday and also go into D.C. with them on a very hot day.  We saw monuments and sweated and sweated.  We just got back this past weekend.  They stopped to see Adam-ondi-Ahman on the way back and we had a family home evening on it last night about why that area is so important and what has taken place there already (that we know of) and what will take place there.
