A couple of weeks ago, my roommates from college took a road trip and visited me. We all lived together in a condo at the Palisades for a few years. It was such a delight to be with them. And of course I was still in shock when they arrived because they made it a surprise! Have I mentioned before that I LOVE surprises?! Thanks girls for surprising me! Of course, we hopped onto the Metro and visited the great city of Washington, DC.
We took a tour of the Capitol. The tour was worth it and very informational. Not to mention the beauty of the architectural design of this building. It was gorgeous and in my opinion one of the prettiest buildings in this city. To all you PC families, this tour is worth the trek.
This is inside the rotunda.
Right across the street, we walked over to the Library of Congress.
It is also known for it's architectural beauty.

After going to see the White House, we stumbled upon "Obama." As you can imagine, I couldn't stop laughing at this one. We just couldn't pass up this opportunity to take a picture with the cardboard figure. Even funnier? We paid $3 to get our picture made with him. I think the guy probably found it in a dumpster somewhere and decided to make some money off of it- smart move on his part because we weren't the only ones! It was so worth the memory!
The next day we traveled to Old Town Alexandria, VA. This place is so beautiful with its cobblestone streets and old beautiful row houses.
One of the highlights we saw was the spite house. At seven feet wide, it is the skinniest house in Alexandria. It was built in 1830 to spite the people who hung out in the alleyway. You can read more about it here. Very interesting.
What a memorable time it was with you gals! Thanks for coming to visit me. It was such a joy to see and visit with you all! I am so grateful to have you as friends!
