I have become good friends with two other awesome ladies in my program and we have taken to going on adventures after class on Fridays. We have had a ball exploring the city and just walking around and talking...and sometimes sneaking into places we shouldn't...
*awkward pause*
But who cares! DC is an adventure that is meant to be conquered!
One fine Friday, we decided to talk a walk around town and go get some yummy chicken at Nando's Peri-Peri which is super yummy chicken. Mmm...so good.
Anyway, after a scrumptious meal, we wandered...and went on several adventures.
And look what we found! The most amazing second-hand bookstore ever! We probably browsed for a good 40 minutes before finally making our purchases (limiting ourselves to $5). We gleefully clutched our prizes as we continued our ramblings around the city.
After "wandering" into the Army-Navy Club (really neat, didn't take any pictures for fear of getting thrown out), we stopped for a brief refreshment of fro-yo before noticing a loverly patch of wilderness and deciding to further explore. Much to our surprise, it was Lafayette Square which is right next to the White House. So we walked over to the White House and took some pictures.
A little perspective for you.
Poking in between the bars.
Did you know there are dinosaurs in DC? Must be a new security measure.
Then we decided to go hotel hopping and went to all the famous hotels in downtown DC. It was a lot of fun to just waltz in like we belonged there and see what they were like inside.
It was a lovely evening.
The hotels were beautiful! And one of them sells hunting jackets for Fox Hunts!
It was a really fun evening and we quite enjoyed ourselves. We become more familiar with the city and got to see some fun things. But we also learned an important lesson...there are dinosaurs in DC.
