Washington D.C. Round 1

Hi Friends!! If i had to describe this post in one word it would be: WOW!!! The girls decided to take the day and hit D.C. Yikes!! It was a dream come true, it's crazy to see things you've always heard about but never thought you'd get to see!! So we started by riding the metro to Arlington Cemetery! What a humbling and spiritual place!! I really enjoyed it, the unknown solider was my favorite part! Watching the solider march and even watching the switching of the solider's was incredible! While they were doing that a fleet of planes flew over and represented a fallen solider, it was so sad but a humbling experience. After walking through Arlington we headed over the bridge to the Lincoln Memorial and towards the Mall. The Lincoln Memorial was awesome and packed! From there your view of everything was perfect! After that we walked around the different memorials and buildings. We walked up the mall and towards the White House! That was pretty surreal! Then guess what??? We saw Obama outside playing with his dog!! Syke just kidding, who cares about Obama!! We saw the Washington Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the Capitol, and put our feet in the WWII memorial!! What an amazing, great, hilarious experience!! I LOVE D.C.

Our 'Free Ride' 

I'm sure your curious as to what i mean by hilarious and i will tell you...

Story of my life: 

As we were walking towards the Jefferson Memorial i looked over and saw a couple paying the guy who gave them on a ride on his bike. As i watched, one of his bills flew through the wind towards me... so here is the awkward part, as i saw the money flying towards me i thought i'd be a good Samaritan and try and grab it... Do you know how hard it is try and grab something that is flying in the wind? Do you know how awkward you look running after something that you can't catch up to?? hahaha have no fear, you look like your having a major spasm in front of a thousand people!! Yup it would happen to me! So as i was having my spasm, a great looking kid passes me on a segway, yelling 'its mine'... which surprised me and i stopped running/spasming! He eventually caught up to it and brought it back to me...which it wasn't mine, and the couple that lost it gave it to us for working so hard on saving it. I felt so silly cause the cute guy gave it to me, and all i did was spasm out about it! hahaha so moral of the story... Don't chase after a $1 bill in front of the cute boy on the segway... it was hilarious, the things i would do for money... guess you had to be there!! :)

Free ride:

As we were walking towards the White House, one of the guys on his bike offered us a ride. We refused of course cause it cost money and we know how to walk. So he throws the 'free' word out there and finally we climbed in! It turned out to actually be WAY fun! (Hence the ugly photo of me) So then i payed it forward and gave him my $1 bill!! It was a blast!!

Future life:

So D.C. was incredible and i actually really fell in love with the energy there! As we were walking to the metro we walked past the Washington Memorial and i loved it! Why you may ask... everywhere you looked there were teams of young adults playing softball and runners everywhere and it looked like SOOO much fun!! I wanted to join!! Plus there was beautiful people EVERYWHERE...and by that i mean gorgeous guys!! Everyone was so full of energy and having the time of their lives! It made me want to be a part of something big like that!! So here is my hypothetical plan... cause who am i kidding i can't leave my family for too long... anyways if I ever get to a point in my life where i feel like i need a change and i am single, i am going to move to D.C. Yup this is what i would do... move there, get a dog, get a job, then go running and play softball on Tuesday nights and then go party with all my friends. Then do it all over again the next day!! haha cute right? Just a little fun thought I had!! Guess we'll see!! :)

P.S. Stay tuned cause guess what?? We're going to NEW YORK this weekend.....YAHOOO!!!

Love You All!!
