We met at the Baltimore airport on Thursday evening and drove to our friend Danielle’s place just outside D.C. It was so exciting to see the Capitol building, Washington Monument and Pentagon as we were driving! We had a bit to catch up and then went to bed.
The next day we had 10A tickets to go to the top of the Washington Monument and 1P tickets to the special exhibit at the Holocaust Museum. We managed to see the White House in between and meet another friend for lunch. I hadn’t been to D.C. since I was in elementary school – so it was quite fun going back and really taking as much of it in as possible. Grant and I cannot wait to go back again and spend more time in D.C.We had to leave D.C. at 3P on Friday to drive down to Midlothian, Virginia for Dan’s rehearsal dinner. We arrived a little late after sitting in hours of traffic, but it all worked out fine. It was nice to see Dan, his new wife Kendall and some of Grant’s other friends from high school.
The next day we had some time to visit Richmond before the 4P wedding. We went to Maymont Park and drove around downtown Richmond. It was beautiful! All of the Fall leaves were out and the weather was perfect!
That night we went to the wedding, but were sure to pop into the bar next door to check on our Gators. We were quite relieved when they blocked a last minute game winning field goal to secure the win.
On Sunday, we made our way back to Baltimore airport. We arrived there pretty early and had enough time to watch a movie at the gate. It was so hard to say goodbye to Grant, even though I knew this would be the last time we would see each other before his graduation in December – and when he moves to Jacksonville to be with me forever. I cannot wait until we can really start our lives together. =)
The closest I have been to Washington DC is Google Earth.
