Day 10: Washington D.C.

Today was the first time in ten days that we didn’t have to be anywhere. We were so exhausted that we actually got to sleep in until 9:00am. We got dressed and moseyed down to the Cinnabar for breakfast. It seems everyone in D.C. is very health conscious. After we ate we went back to our room to decide where we wanted to go. We would’ve liked to go back and see things in the National Archives and the National Gallery of Art, or to have returned to the Smithsonian but we were too exhausted so we settled for a nap instead.

Around 1:30 we woke up and tried to find a place to eat for under $40. The doorman was kind enough to direct us to a 1950’s diner that was within walking distance. Lunch cost us only $25. Yeouch!

After lunch we walked back to our room to read more books, discuss the Amish some more and eventually decided to retire for the night. We ordered Domino’s and had it delivered. Somewhere around sunset the wind and rain started up and it was quite severe. It rattled the windows and we could hear it whistling around the corners of the building like some angry demon trying to get in. Top all of that off with humidity and we were ready to leave Washington D.C.
