I recently had the opportunity to visit Washington DC with my mom, Beth, and my Aunt Jeanne the first week of March (I know...it's been awhile since my last post). So I left Nate at home in the cold and snow and made a girls' week of it! None of us had visited before, so when my mom's company decided to send her to a 3 day training session in DC, Aunt Jeanne and I went along too.
Aunt Jeanne and I spent the days touring around the city while my mom went to "school". We rode the subway, visited many of the memorials and museums and walked miles and miles around the city. The Washington Monument was one of our favorites...probably because whenever we got turned around, we could spot the monument right away! I was really impressed with the Lincoln Memorial and the FDR Memorial also...I was wishing, though, that I had payed a little more attention in US History class. Oh, well...that's what the tour books are for!
(I made Aunt Jeanne hold FDR's hand!!!:)
Luckily, my friend Sarah lives in Washington DC and she was the best tour guide ever! She gave us a driving tour of the city at night, made dinner for us at her apartment and helped us navagate around the city! It was great seeing her as well as my friend Diane from nursing school, who now lives in Baltimore, MD.
Another high light of the trip...we saw Carrie Bradshaw's computer!!! That's right, at the Museum of American History they actually have the lap top Sarah Jessica Parker used on the set while filming Sex and the City. I was thrilled...who knew museums could be so much fun. We had a great time and can't wait to go back soon!
