Flashback

Here's the shotgun version of everything I've done since my parents have been here!

Got to spend a night in downtown Baltimore and view the Inner Harbor. I had never tried Phillips and was thoroughly impressed.

We then headed up to the Delmarva area (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) for our couple of days spent in Ocean City. Of course our one day we took to have some fun and golf it had to pour! But the next couple days full of adventure in Ocean City made up for it. And when the motto for this week was indeed: "What happens in Ocean City, stays in Ocean City." No felonies were committed but tomfoolery was indeed practiced.

This weekend I was able to spend the Saturday doing laundry and catching up on everything else in life! I've learned to love Saturdays and let them be my recuperation days. I even got to go see Ant-Man with my friend Grace. The bad weather kept us from hiking but it didn't keep up from seeing a fairly hilarious Marvel movie!

But the next day did have some extreme heat it did allow me to achieve some bucket list things.
First I was able to go to the Arlington Cemetery all by myself. I had some time to kill and it was en route to my next stop so I swung by for about an hour and walked to the Kennedy gravesites and of course the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. I highly recommend going here either by yourself or with someone that won't find any need to speak the entire time you're there. I enjoyed just walking and praying from tombstone to tombstone. Praying and being thankful and humble for the sacrifices made by the soldiers, leaders, and their families that bodies lay at rest there.

After my tearful and perspiring trip to Arlington I headed over to Georgetown to kayak on the Potomac. I also spent $17 on a salad and juice named "the Hulk"... welcome to Georgetown. However I got to see a friend of mine from Kentucky that had been there for the summer and we got to swap intern stories. It was great to have a DC insider for a couple hours. I had the best Americano I'd ever had and a pretty great red velvet cupcake at Baked & Wired. This bakery is not far from (however far surpasses) TLC's Georgetown Cupcakes.

This week definitely had to be recorded because of just how fantastic it was and it inspired me to continue having fun despite my crazy work schedule.

Sincerely,

Michelle
