Out of all the impressive things we saw and experienced in D.C., I must say that the thing that impressed me most was Cassie conquering her fear of driving in the busy city. Washington D.C. is not the easiest town to drive in and Cassie had remembered this from a previous visit. She was determined to not drive, but when it looked like public transit would further delay our late-started day she bit the bullet and drove! I was so proud!
One thing no one really explains enough about our nation's capital is the humidity. As a true Californian, I had heard stories of it. I thought I understood it. I was wrong. There is absolutely no way to look pretty and cute when your body is busy creating a second shower of sweat every five seconds. Ugh. Cassie was too in love with the beautiful and historic city to be bothered by such things. I had to work a bit harder to be impressed. A self-proclaimed heat-hater, it was difficult for me to get over the sweltering heat. Eventually, the energy and history of the city became a nice distraction and we were able to see a good amount of D.C. in the short five hours we spent there. We by no means came close to seeing everything but it was a nice sampling of what D.C. had to offer. Once we had our fill (and my legs wore out) we headed to Philadelphia to see our other good friend Luke. Here are some choice photos from D.C; enjoy!
