This past week has been spring break in our house. It's been nice having my hubby around and not losing him to his studies! Alas, that has come to an end, but we have some pretty fun memories of Strom's week away from classes! Our favorite being our trip to Washington D.C. with our friends Brandon and Breanne. The second we learned they hadn't been to the city yet (both are from the same general area Strom is in WA), we started planning our adventure together!
It was a complete blast that included many touristy stops (how can you not hit a few of those up each time?) and a few new ones even to us! From war memorials to museums, food markets to Georgetown, we had a wonderful -albeit rather hot!- adventure in D.C.!
I grew up adoring New York City, but D.C. is quickly becoming my favorite city!
If you're thinking to yourself what the heck...? I should inform you that we had a hunch that on the surprisingly hot spring afternoon, the bananas in the car would not make it through the day. Therefore, the men took it upon themselves to be sure they didn't go to waste. We laughed so hard watching the scene unfold that it was hard to keep the camera steady!
We journeyed into Arlington National Cemetery... A most sobering experience.
Spring is out in full force in D.C.!
A quick resting stop on the Mall before we continued on to the National Archives!
A much needed refueling stop at one of the many Starbucks around town! (I love me some Java Chip Frappuccinos! Feel free to keep the calorie count to yourself, thank you!)
After exploring the Museum of American History 'til closing time, we rested in the grass before heading out to dinner at The Old Ebbitt Grill!
Part two coming tomorrow!
Happy Tuesday to ya!
