Spontaneous Trip to Temple

What do you do when you have an unplanned weekend, nothing on the calendar?  We decided to go down to Kensington/Bethesda area, to the temple.  We try and go once a month.  And somehow we hadn't put a date on the calendar for September.  I knew it would be harder next weekend, and the following weeks I am painting for clients out of town.  This was it.  We left by 6:30 am so the children wouldn't be alone too long.  They didn't even miss us.  I am a relaxed passenger as long as I have crochet to concentrate on doing.  As cars drove crazy-fast past us, John told me about the Grand Prix going on downtown Baltimore. 
We parked next to a car with this sticker in the window!  This is where our oldest son is serving a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Flowers outside were beautiful.  Saw a couple of wedding parties coming out.  Lots of happy people!
We need to schedule an October trip.  Make it happen.  On purpose.  Planning is good.

Oh how we miss the temple. Last week I gave two temple lessons to help prepare our missionary for the experience of going to the temple.

I was there Saturday morning from 8AM to about 12:30PM. I was an "escort" for Matthew, Awetash's son, who is leaving for his mission in Africa in a couple weeks. I was wondering if you were in the temple!
