I made it to DC! Hannah and Robbie picked me up at the airport, which was just fabulous of them. They took me out to dinner, then showed me around the city a bit. They were just great and made me feel much less nervous about being here.
After they dropped me off at my house(!), my cousin Vanessa and her boyfriend Adam arrived! It was lovely to have them because then I had people to do touristy things with. I think we did every touristy thing that it is possible to do in three days. We walked about 20 miles total so my legs are pretty sore.
Here are some pictures of my first few days here!
Me Loving the Capitol
Art work in the Botanical Garden and my lovely cuz Vanessa
Native American skateboards, in the Native American Museum, my favorite thus far
The Empanada's we searched for over a two day period. Definitely worth it though I complained about it while looking for them
The White House. I think the Obama's were amused.
A gravestone with our last name on it. Definitely called for a picture
Lincoln
Possibly the coolest exibit- I had no idea women flew in WW2
My Great-Uncle
Then comes the rain! Adam was not happy about that!I am having a fabulous time so far. I have already started to fall in love with DC. I also have not sweated this much in my whole life and my hair is on the fritz but other than that it is all good.
Tomorrow: My first day of work!
