so after last night...

i've officially had dreams regarding a wedding or THE wedding 3 times this week.
holy moly, still a month to go!!!
d.c. was awesome, so my goal is to put up some pics this week...after i do some homework :( well, journals. i am AGAIN very far behind in them. however 2 weeks left after this week and then graduation in 3 :)
wow.
that is shocking to me. 3 weeks and i'm done with school forever (i think). then what? life or something? the more & more excited i get, the more & more nervous i get. one thing cures the nerves, getting closer & closer to God to help find my direction in life. more on this as i go!

it's 9:17pm and i am officially spent.
g'nite!!!

day 2

today we are STILL in shock over the holocaust museum.
it was amazing & i highly suggest it for anyone. emotions run high and your brain goes a mile a minute trying to digest all the information/videos/artifacts and graphs/maps/charts. it was very moving. we spent 3.5 hours walking through all the exhibits. then we had dinner & came back to the hotel. on the way we saw the washington monument and lots & lots of historical things.
today we are going EVERYWHERE!!!!!
all the monuments, gardens, smithsonians :)
here are some pictures:












i'll update more later!!!!
love, CA

day 1

flights:minneapolis, mn to philidelphia penn
philidelphia penn to washington d.c. (reagan national airport)

today was high stress- but in a good way! therefore, high excitement :)
i had never flown w/ emily before, first time for that and first time going to philly! even though we just stopped there for about a half hour, i loved it- what a gorgeous view from outside the airplane window!!! emily and i were in the font 2 seats of the plane, my mom was across the row in the front.
from philly it was a 20 minute flight into d.c. and then we were here!
emily's friend, hwa, came and met us at the airport and we took the metro to a stop by our hotel (holiday inn express). cherry blossoms everywhere :) it was sunny & 81*.
awesome weather and just gorgeous, why you ask? well, our hotel is about 10 minutes away from the pentagon...SOLDIERS EVERYWHERE! hehehe
chili's for dinner last night, then we went to CVS to get everything we couldn't bring on the plane (shampoo, conditioner, etc...) and they sell wine & cans of beer! hahahaha. whatta CVS- for those crazy d.c.ers!!!
anyways, we got wine & nail polish and stuff for a girlie night in.
but first, after we got to the hotel, distress.
the hotel didn't bring up our twin, rollout bed. why? because apparently they can't give us a rollout bed in an accessible room.
ummm, emily checked & double checked this months ago, when we booked the trip!
so after 2 hours of arguing and calling expedia & talking to the manager. they gave us a rollout and it fits perfectly. stinkin people...
i hurt my back (again) moving something, so i had to take it easy yesterday-
today is much better!!!!
plan for today: 1. holocaust museum
2. natural history museum
and botanical gardens :)

RED pants
