The District of Columbia

Washington is my new favorite place. I've been meaning to write about my trip to the Capitol, but I am just now getting around to it.

My friend Mary Elizabeth and I spent a full week in D.C. So excited to share a little bit of our trip with you!




Washington Nationals Game with Pearce!


 Mary Elizabeth and I in the Washington Monument. Fun Fact: It is a freestanding monument which means it is held together only by gravity. They didn't tell us that until we were at the top.



Michelle Obama leaving the Botanic Garden. We just happened to walk by at the right time.

JFK and Jackie's grave. Jackie Kennedy= My role model


This was the coolest thing we were able to do. On our tour through Senator Wickers office, we were able to go on Speaker John Boehner's Balcony. It looks directly down the Mall.

We also were able to go to the Senate Press Room. AKA I got to fill in for Olivia Pope.

 
Biking around Georgetown.

 We biked from Arlington Cemetery to the Jefferson Memorial. For those of you who have been to Washington, yes I know. It took forever.


View from Lincoln Memorial.


 Too neat not to share.





Reppin' for my State.

 So sad to leave this beautiful city. I hope to be back very soon.

Until next time D.C.

XOXO,

Heather
