Our friend Josh got married this last weekend. I think it's so special when people get married in their 30s, and all weddings are worth celebrating! We road-tripped to DC and stayed with Jill at her sister's house in nearby Virginia. We went to the wedding and had a little time in the city between the ceremony and reception. I knew we were going to have a family day in DC but my expectations were very low. I wanted to see some monuments, eat at food trucks, and see street performers. Never did I expect that while watching a street performance Doug would be pulled into the performance and jumped over!
They were like "sexy white guy, get over here", I guess that's what you get wearing your nice wedding attire while walking around. I don't know how to link videos on here, but all those guys got jumped over by a guy flipping over them. It was pretty fun.
A little more pre-reception city exploring:
The wedding was at a fancy Army and Navy club, delicious salmon dinner, a live band.
The next day we drove back in to do a little city exploring. We wasted a lot of time trying to find parking. That was frustrating! Finally parked at the capital and walked 2.25 miles down to the Jefferson Memorial and back.
Sadly the street truck food was just meh, but the day together was nice. No cherry blossoms, but it was sunny and hot!
The next day we drove back. August took a couple naps and mostly entertained himself, which was a little better than the drive there. This was encouraging as I am trying to talk Doug into another fall colors road trip this fall!
We shall see...

Wow, I can't believe you drove. Isn't that like 14 hours each way? That's a heck of a weekend trip.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I didn't even know you went to DC. We need to keep in touch more :(
8 hour drive made 11 with stops and breaks. Let’s do it!! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso made it a 4 day weekend to make the most of the drive.
