Our Little Adventures: Merry Christmas to Greg! Day 2

Saturday morning, we got up and talked about what we wanted to do for the day. I really wanted to try and get by the zoo, we also talked about walking to see all the memorials and the cherry blossoms, and then we talked about going over to Ford's Theater. We didn't do a good job of planning ahead or thinking about reserving tickets.

Well, we got ready and headed to the Metro to get over to Ford's Theater. We stopped at Starbucks to get caffeinated before we headed to the theater. By the time we got there, the tours were all done and the theater was closed to visitors. I was kind of bummed because I knew that Greg was kind of looking forward to doing that. We then headed over to the Washington Monument, reflecting pool, Lincoln Memorial, MLK Jr. Memorial, and we just looked across the water at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. I am so glad that we walked to see all of them, but it was a TON of walking.

Also, it was the Cherry Blossom weekend. Unfortunately, most of the cherry blossoms had already reached their peak and had begun losing their flowers. There were still some pretty ones, so I'm glad that we got to see those.

When we got close to the mall again, we thought about checking out the Holocaust Museum, but the line was ridiculously long! By this point, we were hungry and tired, so we made our way to a cute bar with patio seating for happy hour. We enjoyed just sitting and chatting with Jordan!

We headed back to the apartment to relax for a while before we went to dinner. We did dinner over at We The Pizza, which is a restaurant started by a former Top Chef contestant. It was pretty good. Between the three of us, we tried mushroom, hawaiian, pepperoni, and white pizza. The white pizza was my favorite!

After dinner, we were all pretty dead tired, so we just headed home to hang out. We didn't even end up staying up late at all! Greg and I were asleep by 10:30!
