The 4th of July is my second favorite holiday- although it comes in very close behind Christmas at number one. That being said, it has always been a dream of mine to be in Washington DC for the 4th of July. Now that we lived on the east coast, this dream was finally going to come true! I was so excited! So we left for the weekend. Drove up and had ourselves a very wonderful holiday. Although, it rained all the 4th of July so our fireworks were pretty much a bright colorful foggy-ness.
I told TJ that this only partially counted as my 4th of July in Washington DC. We will be back!
Here's a little video of the trip. Enjoy!

First, we had to stop for some sushi on our way out of town. The only way to start a vacation right :) |

I love the one lane, winding country roads. |

Cue giddiness! |
We stayed in a little flat behind that Capitol so we felt like a local in the cute neighborhood streets. |
Union Station |
Of course we had to go to the Shake Shack! |
The best buds! |
Women of the war Memorial building |
So tired from walking so much. The most we walked one day was 12 miles! |
I LOVE these homes! |
TJ sported the man purse the entire weekend. |

Felt like we were ported to Athens for a second |
