Brain Dump Mondays: I’m Back!

Sorry this is late but I got in last night so had no time to post this but better late than never! The trip was a blast and I wish we had more time to see everything. Some highlights:
The White House (no sightings of Bush though :()
The Capitol
Supreme Court (yes that little black speck is boyrobot!)
Lincoln Memorial
Seeing the panda bears at the zoo…AMAZING. I swear they look like men in panda bear suits!
Another cool animal we saw at the zoo..the HIPPO! And we got to see it during it’s feeding time!
I lovedlovedloved the subway system in DC. Why can’t LA be like this???
I ate raw oysters and escargots (not pictured here) for the first time! I decided snails aren’t my thing though.
Washington Monument
Not pictured here:
Georgetown - hip area with tons of restaurants and shopping. We ate at Old Glory BBQ which had to die for cornbread…MMMM
Smithsonian - we loved visiting the museums, especially the air and space museum. Since we work in the space industry it was just cool to see everything. We also checked out an IMAX showing of a space station in 3D that was narrated by Tom Cruise. It was awesome. If you visit and it’s showing, definitely check it out! But skip the planetarium showing of Infinity Express….we both fell asleep.
Chinatown - I was really disappointed with DC’s chinatown. But it was interesting in that they have a lot of normal stores but with signs in chinese like Ann Taylor and Bed Bath and Beyond. But when I go to chinatown, I want to see REAL chinese stores….like the ones that sell cheap souvenirs! heeheh. Plus, it was way small.
Five Guys and Potbelly’s Sandwiches - Five Guys is supposed to be the best burger in DC. I thought it was good but that InNOut was better. Potbelly’s was pretty good! I would definitely eat there again.
You can check out my flickr set for the rest of the pics.

You want Chinatown, you come to my neck of the woods, honey. We have more Chinamen then we know what to do with. Which is why I spend most of my days helping them sue eachother.
And what in the name of Jebus is wrong with that Hippos teeth?? They look like they were just randomly placed in its mouth or fired in there by a shotgun or something!
Well done on the correct spelling of Escargots….assuming you’re not pronouncing it “-gahts”
Welcome back!
