Vacation!

HELLO! well i am here. well, i am at starbucks in our hotel in arlington, but here none the less. Wednesday was a boring day of travel... 2 and a half hour flight to Atl, then a 3 hour layover... then the flight from there to Richmond, that was about an hour, not too bad... got my bags, and met Dan outside... we then headed up to DC, so another 100 miles of travel, this time by car! As we landed in Richmond i noticed a big ol lightning bold from the sky... i was like well, hope we dont have to drive in that... but, alas, we drove right thru that thunderstorm... it was raining cats and dogs!! crazy, just plain crazy. funny too, in VA when people slow down to drive thru rain, they pop on their flashers! i have never seen anything like it. We stopped at Waffle House, half way to DC. I had hash browns and grilled cheese.. YUMMY! its been like 4 years since i had Waffle house! soooo yummy. gonna have to stop there again, this time for breakfast. The rest of the ride to DC was smooth sailing.
Yesterday, we first went to the International Spy Museum... it was... interesting... long... crowded... i thought we were never going to come to the end of the museum! i was happy to get out of there. I had no idea how much stuff they'd have there! After that, we went to a pizza place, i believe it was called Ella's. i had a fire stone pizza, margarita. delish! When we were done, we walked down to Ford's theater where Lincoln was shot, the line was like a block long, so we passed on that and went to Hard Rock Cafe for a beer instead. Then, we walked by the FBI building, on our way to the mall. We went to one of the Smithsonian museums... i forget which one... i think American History, or something like that. We saw Kirmet, and Oscar! what up!
We jumped on the Metro, headed back to the hotel. Dinner at Ted's Montana Grill. MMMMM! i had the most delish Bison bacon cheeseburger i have ever had. okay, it was the first bison burger i have ever had, but daaang, it was GOOOD! After dinner, back to the hotel for some hot tub and pool action. What a great day!
Today we are going to the Holocaust museum, go up the Washington monument... got the nationals/braves baseball game and also checking out the Jefferson memorial. Looking forward to it. Its sooo crazy full of people here, its gonna be a crazy fourth of july!
