5 Airports, Cupcakes and Museums.... The District of Columbia

Things I learned in D.C.
-Just because a big black guy is dressed in orange prison garb does not mean he is a criminal
-Georgetown cupcakes is delicious!
-Maryland should be called the Land of Mary
-Everywhere I go in the back east, fireflies try to avoid me
-I am part owner of the Hope Diamond- the world's biggest blue diamond


The past week I visited Washington D.C. It took 16 hours, 4 meal vouchers, 2 $50 travel vouchers, 2 airports and 5 states to get there... NBD. 


Most of the trip was walking around the National mall visiting the monuments and all the Smithsonian Museums. There was so much to see there! It was a good refresher on my history and more. I didn't realize how many monuments are in that area! 

The Capitol

 Thomas Jefferson Monument

Lincoln Memorial 

Smithsonian Museum of Modern Art 

Arlington Cemetery

We went to Georgetown Cupcakes (aka DC Cupcakes on TLC) it was in a super cute part of town, and they were even filming when we went in! I was bad and actually ate a few cuppycakes, cause well, i figured it's a once in a lifetime thing, and they were sure yummy!

The Holocaust museum was heart wrenching, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier humbling, the Smithsonians dizzying, the White House defenseful, and the Washington Monument very visible.

Best part of the whole vacation though- cruisin' around the mall on segways!

YeYah!
