Day 2 in DC,
We got here with little to no trouble yesterday afternoon. Everything went fine with the plane.
We flew from home to Baltimore, from Baltimore we rode the Marc and then transferred to to the metro. Metro travel is a little interesting to say the least.
Yesterday afternoon, I went to Georgetown with Mrs, Donnie, the boys, and Emily.
We went to explore and go to Georgetown Cupcakes. Georgetown Cupcakes was so good!
I got a chocolate mocha and mom a chocolate pb.
They were phenomenal.
We waited for about 20 minutes, but it was well worth it!
We put the boys in the strollers because it started raining a bit.
Let me just say that pushing 5 year olds in strollers on brick paved streets, with crazy people rushing by, is not the easiest.
I mistakenly wore flip-flops and by the time we got home, my feet were ready to fall off
It makes me happy that my work shoe are Dr. Scholls.
Last night we went to dinner with Katie and her mom, Mrs. Wendy.
We had a little miscommunication about meeting, due to the lack of directional skills of two teenage girls.
Once we got together, though, we had no problems.
We ate at the Old Ebbitt Grille.
I had the crab cake and mom had the canntelloni and the seafood was sooooooooooo good!
I've had Southern seafood and it is nothing compared to New England seafood!
After we left, we tried to go see the White house but since they are trying to 'refurbish the grass' we could get there very fast.
We decided to go see where I am going to stay, Webster Hall, but it was pretty dark so we turned around and head back to the metro.
This morning, we left the hotel right after I woke up and then we walked over, with our luggage, to the Anderson's appartment.
After we put all of our stuff up, we went to the Eastern Market.
It was very hipster there.
You can find alot of different thngs there.
We were pretty hungry so we found this interesting resturant, Tunnicliff Cavern.
We shopped around for bit and I bought a couple of things and then I found a pellhat.
The boys got tired, so the Anderson's went home and we went to the American History Musuem.
We went for the First Ladies' dresses and other items.
After that we came home and now we are eating meatloaf for dinner.
The boys are playing with the planes that Mom and I bought them in the Smithsonian.
Tomorrow Mom drops me off at Webster Hall.
My adventure starts soon.

Slow service, onlycomes when passing by. Food is great. Burgers and fries are pretty great but the salads are pretty mediocrea.

Yummy, inexpensive ice cream. They were sold out of peanut butter cup and from what the cashier guy said, it was sold out the hour they are opened.
Georgetown Cupcakes - Georgetown: **** (4 stars)
Cupcakes are to die for. The Mocha was devine, lemon was dreamy, and the chocolate pb was by far the best! The icing tasted like peanut butter fudge.
