Flemings go to Washington, D.C.!

A few weeks ago, Jeff got the chance to go with his parents and his brother's family to Washington, D.C. for a long weekend. Jane won a scholarship to attend the National Ovarian Cancer Alliance national conference, and the rest of the family decided they should tag along! Neither of his parents had been to D.C., and they definitely made the most of it. While Jane was in meetings, Randy and Jeff hopped on bikes, tour buses, and the Metro to cram in as much as possible. Jeff saw some repeats of places he had seen before, but also got to see many things that he hadn't yet seen. Some highlights below:

The first restaurant they visited: an Irish pub, of course!


Randy at the U.S. Capitol


Washington Monument


Randy and Jeff at the White House


Jane and her friends wearing teal for ovarian cancer


Scott, Connor, and Jane having fun at dinner

Jane and her friends getting ready to meet congressional staffers as part of the ovarian cancer conference


Ready to take on Capitol Hill!

Jane's cousin's name on the Vietnam Memorial Wall


The backdrop doesn't get much better than this in Washington!
