Day #1 - DC. Heidi's first blog post!

Ok, we're finally on our way! We took a red eye friday night to Washington DC and got to our hotel at 6:30 am on Saturday morning. We slept until noon and then went out for our first day of sightseeing in our nation's capitol. It's a lot colder and windier here than in OC!

After successfully navigating the Metro, (we even changed lines and everything!) we arrived to the National Mall and went into the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Then we made the treck by the Washington Memorial on the way to the Lincoln Memorial. Well, we made it half way past the reflection pool and realized we didn't have time to get there, and besides, we were frozen! So we headed back to the hotel where we met up with our awesome friend Ajja who drove into the city from Philidelphia. Our other fantastic friends Corban and Marcy from West Virginia also met us at the hotel and we all headed into Georgetown for some dinner. What a blessed evening of fun and fellowship! We bid farewell to Corban and Marcy, but Ajja will be staying with us until Monday.

Check out some of our fun experiences:

Hey Jimmy:
That big blue ball was just on a street in downtown DC next to several other big balls of different colors. But...it could be the earth-it's up to you.
