Hey all!
Sitting here at the Marriott at Dulles Airport, nomming our delicious room service breakfast, and all is well so far. It's been a fun couple of days here in the DC/VA/MD area (with a couple of hiccups in plans, but that's a given), which I'll go into detail later on, possibly tomorrow once we're back home on the east coast. For now I'll give you some of the rundown...
Dupont Circle, where we stayed for the last few days, is a very COOL neighborhood, and if we had lived here, we'd definitely want to live in that neighborhood. Lots of really nice buildings, stores and restaurants--one of which is a bookstore AND restaurant: Kramer's Books and Afterwords Cafe. Highly suggested if anyone's ever in the DC area. We also hopped on the Metro and went down to the Mall to check out a good portion of the Smithsonian museums down there. Didn't do any of the monuments or government buildings down there, but I did get a few good shots of the Washington Monument and the Capitol building.
Oh, and might I add that I'd completely forgotten what humidity felt like, and have been breathing like an asthmatic and sweating like a pig the last few days?? Yeah, I miss the Bay already... :P
Met up with a lot of the wedding people last night in Bethesda for a little party and then some food down in one of the restaurants there, and all was good. More on that later...I'd typed out a good three paragraphs about it, but it disappeared on me... X( Either way...will post more tomorrow when we get back home.
BTW--have to add that Virgin America Airlines ROCKS, not just in service and shiny new planes, but apparently in music too. I may just have to go on YouTube and see if someone's posted their HI-larious safety video they have to play before takeoff... :p
More soon!
