DC! Day 1

I have always wanted to travel somewhere for Spring Break and after lots of begging, Corey worked it out that we'd visit his friend AJ in Washington, DC. I had a BLAST and loved it so much, I really want to go back. Here are the pictures...



Corey and I on the wee little plane to DC... I was upset they took away my Bath and Body Works Black Raspberry Vanilla body spray because it was in a 7 oz bottle but there was far less than half left. It's obvious a terrorist move, I'm gonna spray people to death or something. More on my "terrorist" activities later.



The cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom!













Corey and I in front of the Jefferson Memorial





Jefferson!

AJ makes the best faces



















FDR and I are best friends

Lincoln Memorial!

Where MLK JR stood at the Lincoln Memorial



Korean Memorial



People left letters at the Vietnam Memorial - it was a very powerful memorial. There was a general silence that haunted you...



The WW2 memorial was a little more of a party

I love this building!



AJ was awesome and wore my purple backpack for me :-D

Me in front of the White House!





The architecture on this building was beautiful






DC Days 2 and 3

Union Station was GORGEOUS

South Lawn

Supreme Court



Corey and AJ waiting in line for the awful and rushed Capitol Tour











Brewer, patriot Samuel Adams


The Capitol Tour was literally 15 minutes - not much time for pictures :-(




Even though our eyes are closed I like this picture

Awful picture, but it's me and SCRUFF MCGRUFF

Chinatown

National Archives

Air and Space Museum - it was really hard to take pictures of everything there

We went to Georgetown near DC and it was a cute place

Watergate!
They have pink bicycles!

Pretty sunset :-D
