Contrary to what all my peers did in the search for some heat and sunlight, I traveled north for my break. I wound up visiting two states (Pennsylvania and Maryland) and getting the chance to visit D.C.--the perks of the north!
I visited D.C. the first time in 2001 and I was 7 years old. I didn't fully grasp the idea of the Capitol and I didn't understand a lot of the historical significance of the city--I mean c'mon I was 7!
This time Daniel and I tried to hit every spot I visited before along with a few extras like museums and such. There was so much to do, we still didn't have time to do everything!
Here's some of the best photos from our trip! We wound up taking a lot of selfies because neither one of us wanted to ask a stranger to take a picture of us together.
We rode the Metro all over D.C. because we got a day pass. It was a great decision because it saved us a lot of walking!
Silly little narwhal sculpture inside one of the Smithsonian museums.
The Capitol Building was gorgeous from this vantage point.
White House Selfie!
While Daniel was at work all week I binged watched Bob's Burgers so we had to get Five Guys for lunch.
Air and Space Museum! So many exhibits. We wound up not finishing them all. Also look, alchemical symbols!
Lots of selfies with me making weird faces, mostly because I knew I was bothering him by wanting to take them. The top photo and bottom left are of us walking by the reflecting pool which was closed. So unfortunate.
Washington Monument and Reflecting Pool--both of which were sadly under construction. The monument was being worked on the last time I was in D.C., so it's almost like it's never been fully fixed!
We visited Einstein's Memorial because we are nerds. We also new the equations listed on his workbook. Yay science!
When the day of D.C. was finally over, I ate dinner with Daniel's family at this amazing pasta place in Maryland. And the next day was my flight back home. Below is a picture of what Atlanta looked like flying into Hartsfield-Jackson.
