Momo Does D.C.!

So on Thursday evening after work I went to the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station to pick Molly up! We made it back to Dumfries/Triangle where I showed her “my” Panera and Starbucks and took her to Five Guys for dinner. Then we got some baking supplies and baked some cookies in the woods—I was going through baking withdrawals! On Friday morning we got up and went hiking for a little while in the woods by my cabin and then showered and got ready and went by my office before we headed to Franconia-Springfield again to leave my car there for the weekend. We took the train in to D.C., checked in to our hotel and then went shopping and to dinner for the evening! Then we headed towards the White House and did all the monuments/memorials behind the Washington Monument (Lincoln, Vietnam, WWII, and Korean War) because we knew we’d probably be too tired to get there on Saturday (which was true). Saturday we got up and took the metro to Eastern Market (a flea/food market in Capitol Hill) and got breakfast and shopped around before we spent the rest of the day hopping between all of the museums on the Mall. Sunday we had to get up and get on the metro after breakfast so Mo could get to the airport in time to catch her flight, but I got to ride with her there since Franconia-Springfield is just about 15 minutes on the train past the airport! It was a fast and busy weekend and we both thought our feet were going to fall off on multiple occasions, but it was well worth it and so fun! Also—great news—I did not loose any shoes. Let’s hope this stays the same after next weekend: NYC with Cassie and Billea (one of our sorority sisters from Tulsa!). Love and miss y’all!!
