As I am sure most of you know, Dave and I went to Washington DC for thanksgiving. Our friends, Rachael (Rae) and Jaimie (Cav) live there and we decided to spend thanksgiving with them. Rae and I graduated Smith together:
This is us at the Ivy Day Parade.
Rae is currently going to Georgetown getting her masters in complimentary medicine and will be going to med school (school to be decided) next fall. Cav is her boyfriend, whom she met while at Smith. He basically has my job, just in video rather than magazine! So they are both fabulous! and we had just a fantastic time visiting them.
Rae cooked dinner and did a wonderful job. The turkey was great but the biggest hit of the night were the yams...yum yum.
So the following posts are us in DC! Oh yeah, and my favorite metro stop...Foggy Bottom! I am sure you can guess why!
The Lincoln Memorial has always been one of my favorites, no big surprise since that is the time I use to study. But he was stunning at night. It is quite imposing walking next to the water and slowly approaching the memorial, this huge building atop tall stairs just presiding over everything. It seems to put you in perspective of the world. We also saw the vietnam wall at night. I really appreciated seeing it at night, it seemed to change the way in which you view the wall. During the day it is so big and in many ways overwhelming, hard to take it all in, which of course is part of the point. At night, you cant really see the whole thing, you just get the impression of it. I found that because you had to take in each panel one at a time that it forced a more individual experience, less overwhelming and more solemn. It was a really nice experience.
