D.C – Cool As Could Be
So this past weekend I went to Washington D.C with Christy. I could not have asked for better weather and a better person to spent the day with. It was nice to go somewhere other than the local spots we always hit up around town…wal-mart, target and the occasional movie. We had an awesome time seeing Now, the last time was about nine years ago for a promise keepers conference. I had a great time with my dad and the guys we went with but I was sick for half the visit and…as a result did not get to see everything. It also rained too…at least I remember it raining. This time I was hoping to get to see more.
We started at the Washington Monument then made our way Capitol Hill and then stopped in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum for a bite eat. After eating an 8 dollar hamburger from McDonalds we continued to walk and made our way to the Lincoln Memorial. It was quite and impressing site, as were both capitol Hill and the Washington Monument but what I enjoyed more I think were the little gardens we found that can be found along the side streets. These gardens added to the beauty of the buildings. I never knew how beautiful Washington was. Majestic is the word that normally comes to mind, but not beautiful. In little nooks and crannies are beautiful, colorful gardens. I encourage you to stray slightly from the obvious monument to take some time and stroll down a side street here and there. You might be surprised at what you see. Because we had not or did not plan our rout we stumbled on several garden that we would have otherwise missed. I think I enjoyed seeing those almost more than I did the monuments.
