Staurt and I had a lovely trip to DC last week. However, after almost missing our connecting flight in Atlanta on the way there and have our itinerary changed by Delta on the way home we will strongly consider driving when we return in the future. Since our flights weren't direct the amount of travel time plus the amount of time needed at the airport prior to departure plus the stress of flying makes it almost easier to drive for trips of that length. During our time there we were able to check out a variety of touristy stuff: Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, FRD Memorial, view from the top of the Washington Monument, WWII Memorial, Korean Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Smithsonian American History Museum, Holocaust Museum, National Archives, Library of Congress, Supreme Court Building. We also went on a capital tour and to the Senate Gallery during session. During Stuart's workshop I went to Ford theater and National Gallery of Art and to the Newseum with my friend Chelsey.
The highlight of the trip was being able to have dinner with many friends from college. On Sunday night we went to Fireworks Pizza with some Kappa Sig's from Purdue. On Monday night we went to Alexandria to eat at an amazing seafood place with Chelsey and Bill. Tuesday night we had a delightful dinner with Rick and his new wife Leah. On our last night in the city we had ice cream and walked around Georgetown with Chelsey, Bill, and their dog Little Bit.
