Don't ask why, ask why not?: My day in DC

This morning I woke up and got myself ready to head to DC. Marcy dropped me off at the Metro on her way to work and I headed into town. I went back to the Madison Building and Jefferson buildings of the Library of Congress. That is where I got my own library card for "research" and got to see the Gershwin piano and exhibit. Jackie really needs to see the Bob Hope exhibit when she comes up here!

A little before noon I met up with my friend Amber from Pearland for lunch at a palce called "Tune Inn" This restaurant is right on Capital Hill and it was featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. We each had a burger and it was delicious!

After lunch I went to the metro and got myself to Union Station. What a bittersweet stop to go there and see again the place of one of my most fondest memories of my PaPa Dale. Back in 2004 he, my mom and myself went to DC for a weekend trip and during that trip we sad at the center cafe for one of my happiest memories ever.

When I came into the main atrium my heart sank and tears welled up in my eyes (no I didn't really cry) but my heart ached for that memory replaying in my head. I pulled up to the side of the cafe where we sat, and ordered a beer. PaPa loved Coors Light, unfortunately they didn't have any, so I just had myself a Stella Artios. It was fun and I enjoyed my quiet time people watching and reminicing to my sweet, sweet memory.

After a little bit of shopping and hanging out I hopped back on the Metro and went and met up with Marcy, Lauren, and Ada. We headed home and had a lovely dinner of Swiss Steaks!
SPOIL ME ROTTEN!

My plan is to head to Charleston WV tomorrow morning around 9, so most of my time tonight will be doing laundry and packing up my stuff.

I've really enjoyed my stay here in Fairfax, such wonderful time with family I don't get to see very often. I'm so glad I came up here.
