Back to Washington D.C.

While I was in college I interned for Senator Bennett in Washington D.C. Josh flew out to visit me in February and asked me to marry him on Valentines Day. It was a wonderful time in my life and I have the most wonderful memories of this amazing place. 

Josh was assigned to go to a conference in D.C. for work. We decided I would meet him out here for the last day of his conference and we would get to spend the weekend in D.C. We are currently in one of my favorite cities in the world.
Tonight we walked all over D.C. especially going to the Lincoln Memorial to get a picture for our little Lincoln. We walked together nearly 5 miles in our best guess and talked the whole time about our memories of the last time we were together in D.C. This town has a special place in both of our hearts.
This place has an energy to it that is unlike anything that I have ever experienced anywhere else.
It has been so much fun to be here almost exactly 9 year later with 4 kids and a lot of wonderful memories behind us.
This is a picture of the D.C. Metro. I love the Metro as weird as that is. A thousand memories have been rushing through my mind as we have ridden it. I took the Metro all over D.C. back in the day. 

We are staying at the same Metro stop that I took to work every day.

I didn't know your blog wasn't private anymore!

I have wanted to go back to DC for some time now. I didn't love my internship, but I do have a lot of wonderful memories from that time. And honestly, 11 years later, even the internship itself is just a funny memory. But I LOVED DC and that whole area then and would love to go back again.

What a wonderful way to spend a weekend.

I had a similar experience with my internship. I hope that you get back there. It was so fun to remember all of the fun times that I had.
