DC in one word: fantasmagorical

DC was great. I would have posted about the voyage sooner, but there was a new Harry Potter book to be read.

Ike and I went pretty much everywhere imaginable. Here's a small list of the places we went:

Holocaust Museum
Ronald Reagan Building
The White House
The National Christmas Tree/The Ellipse
The Treasury Building
Pershing Park
The Old Post Office
The Archives
National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden
The Capitol
Union Station
Arlington National Cemetary
Ford's Theater
International Spy Museum
National Portrait Gallery
Navy Memorial
World War II Memorial
Washington Monument
Lincoln Memorial
Vietnam Wall & Nurse's Memorial
Korean Memorial
National Zoo
Library of Congress
US Botanical Gardens
Exorcist Stairs
National Cathedral
Kayaked down the Potomac (saw the Kennedy Center & Watergate Complex)
Thomas Jefferson Memorial
FDR Memorial
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial (I actually went here with Nick)

And I stayed on the campus of Georgetown University...it was a beautiful campus even though everything there was uphill! :)

Here are my top 15 photos (yeah, I know it makes this post super long...sorry! It's hard to narrow the field down from 550.):

Sounds and looks like a good time.

I like the new look...

dawnmarie said...

This new layout is nice. Makes me want to change mine.

Zeke said...

I, on the other hand, do not like the new layout. It has poor flow and doesn't look right in a maximized window. But with a bit of work it would look nice.

Do you think Jess would ever want to have sex with me?

A) Loves it. Thanks for visiting me. We accomplished a lot!
B) Great pics...I am a big fan of the world spinning around me; it fits with the theory that I am the center of the universe :)
C) Am I really the Jess whom Brian is refering to? Makes me giggle.
D) Loves you!!! See you in a matter of days in the great outdoors.

What are the exorcist stairs?

(I like the new look. I'll get back to you in a few days about name ideas.)
