After another morning workout session (I know! Angels!) and doing some much needed laundry at the hotel (thank goodness because we'd sweated through almost everything we packed) we headed down to our car to see the city via car.
Our first stop was Georgetown University. WOW!!! It was gorgeous. This is their famous building on campus and you can see why; GORGEOUS. I was SO impressed. It is firmly in my top 5 campuses EVER. (That's pretty good, folks, I have been to a lot of campuses!)
This dog was hunting squirrels on campus. It made us laugh and miss MacKenzie.
Couldn't you just read under that tree all day? I love it!
Ok, my last Georgetown photo, I promise. I loved, loved, loved the campus!
From there we marched onwards to Georgetown's shopping district. We had an awesome lunch at a French cafe where the people were actually friendly. I'd managed to forget how RUDE East Coast people are. Goodness me.
This was the line- on the surface of the sun- for a cupcake from D.C. Cupcakes- the show on TLC. We did NOT wait in that line. I cannot imagine any cupcake is worth suffering through the heat to eat it.
We managed to get caught in horrid D.C. traffic (hey, gotta experience the city, right?!) on our way to Annapolis. I wanted to see the Naval Academy so we decided to stop off on our way to Delaware.
The school is right on the water and had some gorgeous views.
The Academy was worth visiting, but it was just too hot for us to spend much time walking around the campus.
We did see a real sailor walking through the campus so I felt that our tour was complete! :)
All in all today was a successful day. We got t-shirts from Georgetown (and sweatpants for me because 1. I loved the campus and 2. They were on sale), City Sports- Georgetown/Washington (we really like this store- there was one in Boston, too) and the Naval Academy. Whew! We won't need to shop for gym clothes for quite some time.
We left Annapolis and headed for Delaware to allow me to mark off another state. WOO HOO! The traffic to come out to "the shore" was INSANE. I hadn't been in traffic like that ever. We were a slow go over the Bay Bridge and I almost died of panic. We made it, though. Whew. We drove up to Dover this evening to see it- quaint little place- and have dinner. (I have now been to Dover....bend over, get it?!) It finally cooled down this evening and we were able to enjoy a convertible ride again. It is supposed to be 9,000,000,000 degrees again tomorrow, but we'll be at the beach so bring it on, Delaware! :)
