D. C. Vacation Day One

Wow! Red-eye flights suck!
You know how you think you're gonna sleep the whole flight,  but then you remember that you can't sleep sifting upright on a full flight with no air for four hours...

But day one of DC vacation is off to an excellent start!
There is nothing more fun than traveling with close friends to a destination wedding...

Today, after landing at six in the morning...
We took the metro to the hotel we were staying at and because of a really nice hotel employee... We got to check into our rooms and freshen up!

After a ten minute Metro ride-   we did a ten cent tour of D. C. From the U. S. Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial... We covered The Mall and everything in between; the U. S. Botanic Gardens, the Smithsonian, and a glimpse of The White House...  Somehow we even lucked out and did not have to wait in a line through the National Archives!

We finished our two hour race through D. C. at a popular bar in the area and got nice and toasted by 3 pm!
Just in time to make it back to the hotel in time for a quick shower and costume change before our rehearsal dinner!

Yes. I think vacation day one is off to a beautiful start!  ...and the night is young! It's only 5:30 and there's an open bar until 10!
