So for my birthday I wanted to go up to Portland, ME for a night at our favorite B&B and a nice dinner. Our B&B was booked solid though. Sad face. A few hours after that discovery John tells me not to worry, that he’s booked us a whole mini-trip to DC for my birthday and it’s all taken care of. Alrighty then!
Cut to this past Saturday morning, we were up early and on a flight to DC!
First stop, a football game at Georgetown University. Our friend Doug is the defensive line coach and hooked us up with tickets.
The game was a great one to watch despite the fact that GU lost.
Next, we headed downtown DC for some sightseeing…

The Smithsonian National Museum of American History
George Washington as Zeus. Ya know, godliness and all:
Here is one teaser of Julia Child’s Kitchen. I plan to write a whole separate blog on this amazing experience:
The First Ladies’ of the White House Exhibit:
Michelle Obama’s gorgeous Jason Wu dress. My god it was beautiful.
You couldn’t take pictures of the Star Spangled Banner itself. It was breathtaking though, we had goosebumps.
And C-3PO on the way out!
We strolled around the Washington Monument, National Mall, and Reflection Pool as the sun was going down:
Nighttime view of the Capitol Building:
Next, dinner at Fogo de Chao! Yum, Brazilian Churrascaria!
After all that we headed to our hotel at 10PM and crashed.
In the morning we walked the 5 blocks from our hotel to the Capitol Building at dawn:
And then we were on a flight back to Boston. It was an awesome trip. Too fast though, I love DC and can’t wait to go back!
