District of Columbia

Well in my last post I finished with the hike... which I did go on! And I completed it without much complaining... but I made up for it on Monday... We went on the hike Saturday and watched the Alabama game that night... which I made it to the start of the 2nd quarter... and then got tired... Sunday we went to the Singles Ward in Downtown D.C. and that was more than enjoyable :) Afterwards, we went to the temple to take pictures and see the visitors center.

That night... Candace and I chilled at the house while Amber and Mere went with the Keele's to Antietam. I ended up taking a nap and then stayed up late that night because of it... boo... but it was okay because I had a friend to text :) The next morning we didn't go to DC til about 9ish and we started with Arlington Cemetary and went to the Natural History Museum from like 10 to 12. This was the coolest museum and I highly recommend going there. There I had some issues with my friends leaving me and I spent about 30 min looking around the museum for them. NOT FUN... NOT HAPPY... So therefore for the rest of the day... whenever they walked far ahead of me... I resorted back to that feeling of being left and complained about it. I felt bad afterwards for doing so... but really I was incredibly unhappy during that time. Sorry ladies... but I was. I felt like I was not a part of the group. Then Amber's friend came (a guy) and they thought that was why I was keeping up... Not really... It was because finally there was someone who wouldn't leave me behind and felt the same way I did about walking around that dang lake!!

Before the Lake was the Post office Tower tour, the White House, Five Guys for Lunch, and then the Lake walk around to the Jefferson Memorial. After that we saw President Obama fly in on his helicopter and made our way over to the Kennedy Center for a tour.... That was also amazing fun once we got to the roof! It was a fantastic view! After that we saw the WWII memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial. The ride home was pretty quiet... We had a long day... And so the trip home began at 7 the next day (Tuesday) and we had a fun ride home! Sigh... it was good crossing the Alabama line... Sweet Home Alabama!
