Last night, my last night in DC, my fellow intern Rachel insisted on one last 'Monuments at Night'. At night, the monuments all glow. There are not very many people around which makes it perfect. Beautiful.In an effort to take one last picture of me in DC (for now), I decided to jump off a concrete barrier by the Lincoln Memorial. I severely underestimated the height of said barrier. So when I jumped off the barrier, I wasn't prepared and fell flat on my face. Jump, fall forward, come down hard on the knees.
I laughed hard. Rachel laughed hard. But the people sitting right next to the scene of my embarrassment Did Not Laugh. Which made me laugh more. And still laugh about it right now.
Thanks DC. Can't wait to see you again! I already miss you.
p.s. I posted on the National Postal Museum's blog. Read it here. Also you should comment...I want to get the most comments that blog has ever had!

what i really love is when it is snowing. then there is NO ONE out there and it is very quiet and beautiful. and lincoln is my favorite memorial of all. once i was the only person inside and it was a very spiritual experience.
we will miss you!!
So beautiful! Love the picture and the hillarious story to go along with it Melissa! Although I am sad your rad experience is over I am excited for you to come back to my side of the country!
Going back home to the west coast...well, sort of. I am getting so pumped, you have no idea.
Beautiful picture Melissa. I'm so happy you had the DC experience. :)
Sorry we didn't get to see you in D.C.!!
Maybe next time!
Or you can come to SoCal anytime - we will put you up!
I loved the monuments they speak multitudes of words. I am so happy you had the DC experience.
Love Nan
