My fifth weekend in D.C. was the busiest
by far. Since I finished all of my projects for the week by Thursday, I only had
to work a couple hours on Friday, which meant I had a whole extra afternoon to
explore the city. YES!! Plus, my parents were in town for the weekend, and I
had an extra long list of sights to see and things to do. I packed two or three
weekends’ worth of activities into one. Fortunately, they both have tomorrow off from
work and will be able to recover from our exhausting expedition.
After taking a couple rides on the metro
and walking to pretty much everywhere in the 90˚ weather, I think they quickly
learned what D.C. is like—hot, crowded, and a little crazy. But, I love every
bit of it mostly because it’s the opposite of Michigan
Our schedule Friday was filled with visits
to Chinatown, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, Lincoln Memorial,
WW2 Memorial, Pentagon Memorial, the Washington Monument, Arlington Cemetery,
and SHOPPING! Despite my dad’s protests, my mom and I dragged him to the mall
at Pentagon City
