DC Baby

Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you a little about my vacation to Washington DC! I decided to fly out to DC all by myself for my spring break, because I felt like I really wanted to do something that I wouldn't normally be able to do. I stayed with one of my very best friends, and had the most amazing time. I couldn't believe how amazing everything was! This was an experience that I don't think I could have had at any other time in my life. I am so grateful for what I was able to do! Here are some of the things that i did.
