district o' columbia

i was in washington d.c. last week for six days for a conference. i had not been to d.c. in almost 10 years, so i was pretty excited to go. i enjoy visiting the city because there is so much to do there and the public transportation system makes it so easy to get around and see everything.

i had a little bit of time to do some sightseeing and saw the typical attractions: the white house, capitol, supreme court, smithsonian museums, washington monument, lincoln memorial, vietnam veterans memorial and the korean war memorial. i also saw the world war ii memorial, which had not yet been built the last time i was in d.c. i thought this memorial was very well done and was happy i had the opportunity to see it.





the boyfriend also joined me for the trip, so after i was finished at the conference each day we went out and explored the different neighborhoods of d.c., particularly the adams-morgan area (near our hotel), dupont circle, and union station. we would have liked to explore the georgetown area, as we heard it was a good area for people our age, but unfortunately we ran out of time.

all in all, it was a great trip. we look forward to going back in about another decade :)

out.
