I think I was up somewhere around 7:30am and just kinda hung out and scrolled my phone and waited for others to wake.
We had a very lazy morning, talking, catching up, drinking coffee, all sitting in bed together. It absolutely felt like college and I loved every second of it.
We had brunch reservations at 10, but ended up chatting way too much and missed that. We opted for some amazing bagels and Sil offered to go grab them while us ladies spent that time getting ready for the day.
We ate our bagels and then headed out for a day of adventure. Today we wanted to hit up the free museums. I mean, it's D.C. and there's SO much to see and do.
We started with going over to the Archives so we could see the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence. We then went and walked over to see representation of many historical moments throughout time.
The women's rights section floored me. It's insane how recently we were deemed real people.

| It's absolutely insane to see these signatures. Alexander Hamilton? After watching that on Broadway, it means SO much. |

| Metro Station |
We experienced the metro and rode about 9 stops to get back to Alexandria and the King Street area. The Thai place we wanted to eat at was down this way. Mind you, it's POURING rain at this point.
We finally made it to dinner and warmed up with the most amazing food! One thing we all knew about this trip - we wanted to eat the best food. We are all foodies and there is something very special about enjoying good food, good drink with good people.
We finished a delicious meal and knew what was in front of us: the walk back.
In the pouring rain.
The day before, it was sunny and gorgeous out. GORGEOUS. It was so cute walking around that area. Tonight? It was chilly and rainy. Thankfully it wasn't THAT freezing cold because FUCK if it was freezing and raining!? But it was just raining so it was bearable.
We laughed our asses off the entire way, people. To the point where I was keeled over in the middle of the road, laughing, sobbing. I hadn't laughed like that in forever. FOREVER. It was so good for my soul.
And, because of our historic day, we decided we had to watch National Treasure. We stayed up, had a couple of drinks, ate snacks in bed. Surprisingly we all made it to the end of the movie.
Tomorrow is yet another day before we go back to our normal lives.
Day 2 was a fantastic day. Hilarious and fantastic.
