Well...

A friend just told me I don't blog much, so I'm going to try to get a little more regular at this.

Spring Break in Washington D.C. was pretty awesome. I saw so many things that I had only dreamed of seeing.

On our first day, we toured Mt. Vernon Estate. This was the home of President George Washington. Being an agri nerd, I was amazed at the advancements in agriculture that were made by Washington. He was a pioneer in the idea of crop rotation and the harvesting of grains.

Once we got to D.C., we put our walking shoes on and got ready to move. We saw the Martin Luther King, Jr., F.D.R., Lincoln, and Jefferson Memorials. We toured the Smithsonian Museums and Arlington Cemetery. We also visited the White House, Capital Building, Library of Congress and Archives Building. The coolest part had to be seeing the President's motorcade on the way to see our representative, Rick Crawford.

On Wednesday, before leaving D.C., a group of us headed to Georgetown Cupcakes. We took a subway and walked 10 blocks, but it was worth it. We saw a really interesting part of town that we wouldn't have seen otherwise.

I am so glad I didn't back out if going on this trip. It was a great experience that I will treasure forever.
