Proud to be an American:


This was my first time visiting our nation's capitol!
And my goodness, I loved every minute of it. 
From the Washington Monument to the Jefferson Memorial, to Arlington Cemetery and the Holocaust museum, there was not one thing we did that didn't absolutely live up to my expectations and floor me.
(besides not running into the president, I really had a good feeling that was going to happen!)

Sidenote: flying into Washington DC after being out of the country for 7 weeks was really something too, we were soo pumped when we started seeing American flags everywhere! haha

We stayed with our good friends Jenna and Mike and I have to say, that was probably the best part of the trip! We ate our way through DC (Baked & Wired, Old Ebbitts Grill, Hard Times Cafe, etc) which is always our favorite thing to do on trips (in case that isn't extremely obvious from most of my posts on here haha), and Jenna and Mike showed us all around town which was such a blast, we had so much fun! 

Arlington Cemetery:







Eastern Market:

 ^^^ apparently my bacon needed some inspecting


Jefferson Memorial:


The White House!



And now we've finally reached the last leg of our trip: NYC is up next!
