Washington DC

So ive been trying to write this blog forever now!!
Dc was so much fun!
We left at 6am on saturday morning! We were soo tired but both really excited! we couldnt start the 8 hr drive w/o some dunkins. The ride wasn't too bad, but it was def LONG. we got stuck in some traffic in NJ which promptly added about an hour and a half to the drive. We were really happy to get to the hotel and the 35 dollars a day parking wasnt that bad! the hotel was AMAZING. the room was so sheik and the staff was unbelievably friendly!! Our first night there we walked all around. We saw the WWII memorial, Lincoln memorial and the white house. I had on my brand new sneakers which was a very very bad idea. my feet still have cuts on them over a week later! lol We stopped at CVS and got a ton of bandaids which really came in handy thru out the weekend!! After walking for a bit we went to the Capital City Brewery. It was great to sit and have a beer! we got back to the hotel and we passed out by 11! Sunday we got up nice and early and went to the Washington monument and then the Simithonian and the air and space museum. All were really fun. The space mues was cool cuz i love space! haha. Dan and i went on a motion simulator here. It was like a video game where dan was in control of the airplane and i had to shoot. Needless to say we sepnt this whole ride upside down! After this we went to the washington memorial and took the elevator to the top! I hate elevators and was VERY scared to go 500 feet in the air, but im really gad we did it. The veiws were AMAZING! Im very glad we did it! After we finished there, we were absolutely famished!! We stopped at this little hole in the wall called Luigis and got some great pizza and beer! Monday was our big anniversary! i still cant belive its been a whole yr already!! lol. So we got up early again and we were SO tired of walking everywhere in the 90* weather (with humidity too!!) that we took the metro everywhere!! We went up to arlington which was less then great, but dan had fun. Im glad we went and saw it, but it was just so hot and walking everywhere in arlington was just getting to me. When we were finally done with that we went to georgetown which everyone told me was AMAZING. Well we treked there and it was like a mini Newbury street. I was so disappointed =( So we had PLANNED on finding somewhere to eat while we were there, but everything was was over priced so we metro-ed back to the city and went to hard rock. It was fun and a nice place to just relax and ppl watch. Oh and that morning we went to the crime and punishment Mues and the police mem. The police mem made me kinda sad. it was surreal to see all those names of ppls loved ones who just left for work one morning and never came home. The c+p mues was so cool! we spent forever there! lol. but it was cool! we also got to c where Americas most wanted is taped!! lol Tuesday morning we checked out and headed home. We were making GREAT time when we realized we missed one of our exits! (we had been following the GPS but didnt want to go over the George washington bridge in NY so we had written directions to get off a an exit before it!!) So we get to the brige and we were a little nervous, and besides the fact it cost a small fortune to get over it, it was not as bad as ppl made it out to be.
So all in all the trip was awesome! I learned that the Delaware bridge is the SCARIEST bridge i have ever seen in my life, That if u use an american express gift card @ a gas station they put a hold on it and u are stuck in DC with no MONEY! and that driving 8 hrs really kinda sucks! lol.
but it was such a blast! we would go back again, prob in the spring to see the cherry blossoms.
