Baltimore/DC - Day 2

Saturday May 26, 2012


We slept in a little bit, trying to not get to used to the time change ;-)  We decided to check out Washington DC that day.  Both of us had been there before (me, obviously more times) but there were a few things that Jason didn't see up close when he went.  We opted to do those things.  We grabbed lunch at Jimmy Johns (duh) and AM drove us to the metro station at Greenbelt.  Unfortunately the station was down so we took a shuttle to Ft Trotten and finally boarded the metro to downtown DC.

First stop was the White House. Barack didn't come say hi but we still had to take pics in front of it.

Me, AM and little A

 It was scorching so we stopped for some ice cream bars!  They were yummy until they started dripping everywhere! 

 

We walked over to check out the Monument.  We had hoped it would be open to go up, but I guess it's been closed for a long time now :(  We sat on the grass in the shade of the building and relaxed.

 

We needed to cool down a ton so we stopped at Capitol Brewing.  The beers were just okay.

We headed back in the Metro after that.   We were all exhausted from the heat (and me from the beer).  AM wanted to show Jason her liquor store which happened to be a rad craft beer place!  He was stoked and bought a ton of beer to ship back. He was happy.

We relaxed the rest of the evening, eating 5 Guys (Jason's first time) and watching TV.
