Darreals Bestie Comes To Town

Labor Day weekend brought along the end to a lot of things; my first job out of college, summer, and my college football withdrawal! As excited as I was to see college football coming back on every major channel, I was also excited to see Darreal's bestfriend, and the guy who brought us two love birds together, Brandon! Brandon brought his wife along for a long weekend in the nations capital and for those of you who I talked to that weekend, you'd know it was quite the adventure.

Saturday night after the MSU game went off we ventured into the city to have dinner at one of darreal & I favorite restuarant!
After dinner, feeling pretty plumped
Brandon, being all kinds of inappropriate, lol
Sunday we did the thing that all visitors want to do, go see the monuments. This is probably my favorite picture that I have of us in front of the washington monument
The married couple, the sky looks really gorgeous
Standing in the WW2 Memorial Fountain, the water felt so good!
OHIO!!!
Sun Setting over the Lincoln Memorial and reflection pool
This was the first time i visited the lincoln memorial at night and it is truly beautiful, for some reason its much more impactful at night time
As many times as i've been to the lincoln memorial, i've never noticed the very spot that MLK Jr. stood and delivered his "I have a dream" speech is etched in the marble.
Kisses from my babes!
Pretty, Pretty
On our way back from dinner that night, and before we got rained on while trying to find our "lost car" we passed the newseum. Anyone who comes to the area should definitely visit. It's really cool, and its the place that CNN was covering the 2009 Inauguration.
