Hold Your Breath and Hit the Gas

6/5/2009

Driving in D.C. is a hell on wheels that I am not looking forward to repeating anytime soon. But it was cool to be diligently following the GPS and turn a corner to see the Washington Monument poking out of the city. A few turns later and I was circling the Iwo Jima Monument, followed by Arlington Cemetery. However, I'm extremely glad to be off those roads and enjoying a Yuengling lager. 

After chilling out at my friend Sara's apartment for a bit, we grabbed a bottle of wine and headed for the mall to see some night sights: Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, World War Two Fountains, and the Korean War Memorial. Cruising up and down the mall at night is a gorgeous way to see these memorials in their greatest splendor as they are beautifully lit. Plus, you are not fighting too many tourists for a close look or a good picture.
