Day 3...

After a much needed Starbucks run on Sunday morning, we headed off to see some sites in D.C. First off was the White House (seeing as how it was only 3 blocks down the street). Next on the monument tour was the Washington Monument. In between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial was the new World War II Memorial. The Lincoln Memorial was quite the site to see! After a lot of walking (a lot of walking....) we had to head to Nationals Park to see the Nationals vs. Brewers game. We had to hop on the Metro to get there and arrived just before game time. The weather was pretty chilly, not gonna lie about that, but the sun was out, so it could have been worse. Nationals Park was pretty awesome and the game started off pretty crazy. The Brewers started things off with a 10 run first inning, including a grand slam. Parker's roommate recommended that we try Ben's Chili Bowl in the stadium....two chili dogs and some chili cheese fries later, I concluded it was a great recommendation! The final from the game was 11 to 7, and it was quite an enjoyable experience. We went back to the monuments after the game to take in some more sites. First off on the second round was the Jefferson Memorial. It's a beautiful memorial, sitting right on the water. Next up, the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial. It's very modern, and quite different than the other three. Of the four I saw, I must say the Lincoln Memorial had to be my favorite. We left D.C. late in the afternoon, a little wind burnt and pretty cold. That night was the first chill night of the trip. We ordered a pizza and had some laughs before Parker had to retire for the evening. Well, that's it for this leg of the trip......

Seattle, here I come.....
