The Washington Monument
A pretty Building!
The first sign we saw for Washington DC!So today was another successful trip around Washington DC. I love where I am living and I love all the girls here, everyone is so kind and genuine. Last night I met some girls at dinner and we all headed to the capitol to listen to the DC symphony play on the lawn however, it started to rain. So instead of sitting on the soaking wet ground in a downpour we decided to head of to Union Station for some grub. Union station is huge, and I don't think huge correctly defines it. It includes a metro station, and is an Amtrak station as well as a mall, equipped with restaurants and a movie theater. I must say I have never seen anything quite like it. Last night we ate at Johnny Rockets. It has been so nice getting to meet so many people who are all working on the Hill like me.
Today was another adventure with the same ladies. We decided we would do some last minute shopping on Labor Day before the work week started. We travel on the metro again. (Which I am beginning to love and wish Shelbyville would invest in one. At least one that would travel from my parents house to Shelbyville and then to Louisville, oh that would be nice!) We went "downtown" and did some shopping and ate lunch at a cute sandwich place called Potbelly's. It was delish! I actually found the perfect bag/purse to accompany me to the office everyday, it is large enough to fit my lunch, umbrella and my laptop. I was quite impressed. Then after 5 hours of walking downtown we decided it was time to head back!
So far Washington has been a fun adventure and I can't wait to start my new internship tomorrow. I am extremely nervous and hope that I do well! :) Fortunately the building is super close to where I live. Wish me luck and send prayers for tomorrow because I will surely be needing them!
