Ze Capitol.
Morgie out on the balcony at our hotel. We have a pretty cool view of one of the biggest roundabouts I've ever seen. This one in Mexico City might have been bigger but it's hard to accurately judge size when perceptions are over a year apart. Still, it's a fun roundabout. We walked around it last night just because. There are no less than 12 crosswalks. It might have been more.
Segways at ze capitol! Every time I see these tours speeding past I am SOOOO tempted to fork out the dough and join them.
People frolicking around the National Mall. The evenings are pretty chill here. There are softball and kickball games happening all up and down the National Mall strip, tons of runners and bikers out for exercise, and a relaxing but exciting buzz about the place. Not to mention the perfect temperature and beautiful sunset over national landmarks.
The photo doesn't do it justice but there was an amazing sunset and glorious colors in the sky and clouds.
Sauntering up to the Supreme Court building. I may or may not have previously practiced this pose in front of the mirror...
They locked me out of the Supreme Court building. Shameful, I know. But the door was cool. And so was playing on all the steps.
We're pretty tired! My dad's famous last words as we set out on our jaunt of the National Mall: "I think round trip it's about two miles." Mmmmhmmm. It's more. A LOT more. I was going to map it but that would have taken too much time. The amount of walking in day one may or may not have been complicated by the fact that I lost the room key and didn't realize that until I got back to the hotel. Morgie and I were just running back to drop some stuff off and my dad was waiting for us at a restaurant about 7 long blocks away. For some reason I was the chosen one to run back to him and get his key...
Mi padre y yo a la Casa Blanca. No, I didn't charge the fence but yes, I did check out the fine feast of men they have patrolling the place. That's probably what kept me from trying to get in. Those guys are not little. I'm not little either but they're really not little. And they're armed with more than a heavy purse. I can calculate the odds and obey them.
Is the Washington Monument ticklish? Must not be. It didn't even flinch.
Oh yes, and per Sidekick's recommendation, we did dine at Potbelly's. I think I was too hungry to actually taste the food because my sandwich didn't seem to have any flavor. It did fill me up though.
Have a great day :)
