Washington, D.C., to be exact. I hopped on a bus for a mini vacation this week, since the family I regularly nanny for went out of town. This is my first time to the nation's capital, and it's pretty cool to see the monuments and buildings I've only ever read about or seen on TV.
My friend Julie is kindly letting me stay with her AND is playing tourist/tour guide with me. Today we rode bikes around the National Mall, and it was a blast. I'm re-learning history, as well. I really should make a point to brush up on my country's history, and this trip definitely helps.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers
John F. Kennedy's grave (He's been showin' up a lot in my life, lately).
I also saw the House of Representatives Gallery and listened to some Reps bring up different problems to the Speaker of the House. All I remember is the Rep with a drawl who said, in relation to our country giving more money to Pakistan, "You don't have to pay people to hate you! They'll do it for free!"Tomorrow, Georgetown, free cupcakes, boats on the Potomac, and museums!
