Wow, what an amazing weekend it was here in Virginia! Two of the ladies from Kansas Bouncing Buns flew in this weekend for a girls weekend to run the Crawlin Crab Shell Yeah Challenge in Hampton, VA with me!
Van and Jane arrived early Thursday morning so we decided to head into DC to do a little sight seeing. We hopped on the metro and headed to the The National Mall. We were able to score tickets to go up into the Washington Monument at 1:30, so we had a few hours to burn before our tour. We went over to the US Treasury department but missed the tour and hit the gift shop and then headed to the Holocaust Museum. It was a great exhibit, but very sad. Unfortunately, we had to cut our tour short (I plan to go again) so we wouldn't miss our Washington Monument tour. The Washington Monument Tour was great...except one madly in love couple who we ran into at every turn...let's just say they must have thought they were kissing cats..they were constantly meowing at each other! Really!!??!! I can't make this stuff up!! After that we were very hungry, so we headed to the Food Truck stop but before we got there we came upon this amazing garden right next to the Hirshhorn Museum! The plants were so beautiful!
We then got a Food Truck Lunch...sadly most of the trucks were already packing it up for the day. I, however, really enjoyed my Greek Chicken Pita sandwich...I don't know if it was really good or I was really hungry! :)
Friday morning we got up and headed into Old Town Alexandria. Van was able to meet up with a friend, so we all sat on the pier drinking a coffee and enjoying each other's company. We then headed to Hampton, Va to get ready for our Shell Yeah! Challenge!!
Stay Tuned in for Part 2 tomorrow!!
