Washington D.C.

Washington D.C. is always a good time! On the way to Washington D.C......we were so tired....but, we got to our hotel and dressed ourselves up and went out in the rain....we decided on the Dupont Circle area and our first stop was a place called Madhatter....after a couple drinks, the tiredness and anxiety from the drive and traffic to Washington D.C. washed away....

Then, we headed forward and stopped at Lucky's Bar and The Whale (???).....we met a couple cool cats there....one guy told us to tell the hostess that we were with him....we gave her his last name and she gave us a bracelet that gave us half off of our drinks....then, we met this guy that kept calling himself a "Brown Man"....he bought us a shot, but while he wasn't looking, we gave them to the bartender to drink....a ton of fun!!!!
He was a little drunk....:)
The bartender was more than willing to take our shots!!! :)
I was craving Mexican, so I asked one of our "new friends" if he knew of a great place to go....he pointed us to the right direction and off we went!!!

The food was really wonderful!!! Afterwards, we called it a night and headed back to our hotel....

The next morning we worked out and then headed to visit Eric's buddy, David Lasseter....who was a Marine, but now works for Congressman Blake Farenthold (Rep. Texas)....his office was awesome....we were so proud...he got us a tour of the Capital Building. It was pretty cool, although they made me throw away my Pure DKNY perfume....:(
Afterwards, we headed back to our hotel room....Eric worked out and I took a cat nap...one thing that I have realized is that I am not as young as I used to be.....I need a lot more rest, water and nourishment now.....after I took my nap, I was ready for our baseball game though!!! Before the game, we went to happy hour with Dave and some of his co-workers....
It was raining and probably the most disappointing game.....Eric bought us really good seats with $40 food and drink vouchers which no one would take because the credit system was down everywhere....we made the best out of the situation though...
How could you not have fun when you are with a handsome man like this!!!???!!!
We left the game after a couple hotdogs and chili from Ben's....we were excited to meet back up with Dave....we got to meet his girlfriend.....:) Really really liked her.....
Hi!!! My name is Missy.....I have huge eyes!!! :)

We woke up on Saturday morning and went to one the Smithsonians and then headed home.....it was a great vacation and one of the most memoriable yet!!!
