Well look who it is

We woke up really early so we get get to D.C. as soon as possible and see as much as we could. But the showers that morning were so nice and warm that we did not get out of the campground on time. Getting to the metro station was also a bit difficult. One wrong turn on the freeway left us a half hour behind due to traffic. We looked a bit stupid trying to figure out how the Metro works but we successfully got into the district. We attempted to get into the Capitol Building and ended up circling the entire building before finding out that the entrance is underneath. We didn't have time to take the tour of the inside because we had plans to meet up with an old friend of mine.

One more metro trip and we were downtown. We rode the tallest escalator I've ever seen! (I really like escalators.) Back on the street Erin Conroy was there to greet us. I met Erin back in college at Cal State Long Beach. The three of us went to brunch together and we used that time to catch up. Erin had been in the Peace Corps for a year and only recently returned. After brunch she took Tim and I through the local zoo that she used to volunteer at. She rode the metro with us back towards the Capitol Hill area but parted ways to go to work. It was a pleasure to get to see her again.
