Road trip to the District

...no, not district 13, although that would be pretty interesting.

Last weekend we braved the beltway and headed to Washington, DC to visit Huzie in his new place.  He lives in an AMAZING penthouse apartment in a really cool up-and-coming area of DC that you can tell is going to be THE spot to live in the next year or so.  It's still in the early stages but there's a beautiful park and tons of construction going on that preserves many of the original factory/foundry/etc buildings that (i think) used to all be part of the Navy Yard.

Although we arrived nearly past my bedtime on friday, we headed out to grab some grub at the ugly mug over by the Marine barracks.  we sat outside and enjoyed the wonderful weather and then got a special treat (aside from the tater-tots).  there was some event going on across the street and we caught a glimpse of the silent drill platoon spinning their shiny rifles while listening to the marine corps band!  it really made for a great night!  they even had all of the street lights partially covered during the event and it just gave you the feeling of being in pleasantville.

Saturday was Cinco de Mayo, so of course we had to eat....KOREAN BBQ!!! from a food truck!  i didn't actually eat anything mexican, such a travesty.   BUT we were at Trucko de Mayo (which we were all convinced was really trucko de mayo.naise) so it was totally okay that we weren't shoving our faces with guacamole.  before that we had spent the morning in georgetown...which i loved, obvi...and that night we crossed into virginia to hang out in Old Town, Alexandria which also was F.U.N!!  and full of ice cream :).

Sunday we had an gut-busting breakfast in Arlington before heading to Arlington National Cemetery to do lots of walking and searching for Huzie's great-great-uncle who was buried there.  some videos in case you want to feel like you were there.  ignore the shaky camera work, i was limited to one hand for a bit.
