Yesterday was a lot of fun. The morning at work was extremely slow as there was absolutely no work to do. After lunch we went to Capitol Hill to hand out packets and letters to congressmen looking for support for new bills. I got to deliver to the Rayburn building (named after Former Speaker of the House, Sam Rayburn) and I wasn't keen to the layout of the hallways that caused me to do a large amount of walking.
I planned to meet up with friends at 5pm to eat and see The Dark Knight on iMax at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Since I finished delivering packets at 3:30, I decided to walk around D.C. until I went to meet up with my friends. I walked around the Botanical Gardens next to Capitol Hill for awhile and then went to the area where all the major federal work buildings were located. I was really glad when I walked past a Bank of America ATM and was able to withdraw some money to spend on groceries.
At 5pm, I met up with Allie,
Brian, Dan, and Kevin at Hawk 'n Dove, a bar with a super cheap happy hour ($2 beer specials plus free tacos) that all the legal people enjoyed. They allow underage people into the establishment too, so Brian and I got to sit and visit with friends while we ate (I had fish and chips).
As we started leaving to head to the movie and meet up with Katie, it started to rain. We were still able to slowly make it over to the Smithsonian and I magically ended up staying fairly dry compared to the others who were soaked. I got a student discount for the movie at $10 a ticket, saving $2.50, and seeing the movie in iMax was AWESOME! I hope the next
movie they play in the theater is a good one so I can have another fun experience.
Katie and I were dead tired last night and were eager to sleep in this morning. We're currently experiencing heavy rain from Tropical Storm/ Hurricane Hannah, so we ended up not going out to sight see today. I did need to go food shopping sometime this weekend and ended up going to Costco with Katie to stock up on food items. I'm going to go to Wal-Mart tomorrow to get some non-bulk food items and medicine to complete my shopping.
I talked to my parents this morning and got to see my boys on web cam. Since the picture from it was so pixilated, I had a harder time differentiating Mark from Blitz since they're nearly the same color and getting to be around similar sizes. The only reason I could really tell the orange blobs apart was by their normal behaviors. I think Blitz loves being a pasture puff with a lawn mowing job.
Posted are a few pictures of the Botanical Gardens and other places I walked by yesterday.
