It's been about four months since I've been back in the States, and I've done very little traveling. So it was with great excitement that I went to Washington D.C. over the 4th of July weekend. I had never been to my nation's capital, and it was really great finally seeing the monuments that I had read so much about. The Washington Monument looked wider than I had imaged, but that was mostly due to scaffolding covering the structure. I took in the fireworks show at the National Mall, spent hours studying photographs and national treasures in the various Smithsonians, and toasted my favorite president (Lincoln) with a mini chocolate cupcake bought at Sprinkles Cupcakery. The trip was short, but I had a great time nonetheless.
