Washington D.C. - Vacation

My favorite place in the world is my home state. Lone Star just has a ring to it, ya know?
My second favorite place in the world is the beautiful land of D.C. - second place is shared with Maine. : )
One of my best friends & I spent three days this summer walking the streets of our nation's capitol. We crammed it in! Visiting the usual spots plus some new uniquisite ones too. Sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to see the sunrise...simply beautiful. The rain fell a little more than the sun shone! One of my new favorite memories is of us riding through the memorials on town bikes and seeing fireflies light the evening...
The U.S. Capitol...Matthew was our guide...best tour guide guy ever. Air and Space Museum. Sandwiches on the lawn of the Capitol. Ice cream in the dining atrium. Jefferson's library. History walks through the streets with a camera. Metro rides. Capitol Station. Sitting near Mr. Lincoln. The Vietnam Wall at night. Seeing history come alive, seeing history being made in the present...what a beautiful trip.
