D.C

So I met the president last weekend. He was super nice and very well dressed. He offered me a complete tour of Washington D.C and of course I said yes!
...Just kidding. I wish I met the president and it would have been grand to get a complete tour of D.C. Matt and I went last weekend for three days for a vacation. We had a pretty good time.
On our first day we went to the Smithsonian Museum of History. We spent pretty much all day there because wow! Those museums are insanely huge! We did see a little bit of the Natural History museum but I had been to that one a couple years ago so I didn't feel a need for a repeat.
The next day we went to the Air & Space Museum which Matt was excited about for sure. It was so crowded. So many travelers. There were tons of people from Europe and Asia mostly. We stayed for a little bit but like I said it was way too crowded so we decided to leave early and headed to Pentagon Mall because I heard amazing reviews about it.
That was a bust though. I did love the mall but most of the stores were uber upscale. I did enjoy window shopping though! The main reason we went to the mall was to look for a bookstore because I read my book that I brought with me. And no bookstore! A huge mall and no bookstore equals a sad HeatherK.
We rode back on the metro and right by our metro station was a Borders. Yay! So whilst I was browsing my eyes stopped across a certain book and I gasped loudly. So loudly the lady next to me chuckled and asked if I found what I looking for.

I was not expecting the second of this trio to come out so early, so of course I bought it because I just could not do it!

The next day we met up with my grandma and my two cousins who live in Maryland and we visited the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial and the Capital. On our way to lunch we had to walk a bit which was about five miles I want to say. And it was insanely hot that day. I sweated like never before but it was a great time spending time with them. After that we headed home and proceeded to watch Interview with the Vampire because Matt had never seen it and he loved it!
It was a great trip and I LOVE traveling. Matt even said we should travel more. Yay!
Hopefully destination weddings are coming soon!

Sounds like you had an amazing time, and you definitely took beautiful pictures!

LINGER's release date got moved to the 13th! Maggie Stiefvater's release party is still the 20th in Williamsburg. I so wish I could go, but we're in Philly! I wish I could get a book signed by her! If you go, let me know!
