the capitol!

Ahoy,

We had booked a trip to DC months and months ago to visit one of A's best friends. He had the unfortunate circumstance of getting stationed in Paris, France for work after we had already planned the trip, which was not awesome. But he so graciously still let us stay at his place, which was awesome! It was mid-September so I was hopeful to be in some semi-fall weather. Disappointingly, the weather was probably deep summer - 90s and humid. I was so, so displeased, in addition, I had a cold. The one time every 3 years I get sick - and it had to be in 90 degree weather. But I brought my insulated water bottle, and the RRS thought it was a silly purchase until we had ice cold water in the middle of a hot, hot day.

We played so much pokemon! We went in the American History Museum, Natural History Museum, Air and Space Museum, Botanic Garden, White House Museum, probably some more. One of the days, we got a bikeshare day pass and rode bikes all around to the monuments and other neighborhoods. It was so fun and convenient! We got these amazing lobster and crab rolls in Georgetown. And pizza near the Capitol. And a milkshake and drinks on 14th St. It was a really great trip. Hopefully next time we go, his friend will also be at home and it won't be summer.

hackingly fried,
