Klas and I took an enjoyable four hour bus ride from New York to the nation's capital and spent this past weekend exploring a city that neither of us had ever been to. It was fun for both of us to be tourists together for once. We managed to do and see everything we had hoped to in such a short time. The highlights included The Mall (Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, etc), the White House, the Arlington Cemetery and dinner with a friend of mine who goes to school in DC. We also really enjoyed riding the extremely clean and modern metro which was a nice change from what I have become accustomed to in NY.
Everything went smoothly and I think we were both pleasantly surprised by how much we liked the city. It was a perfect vacation for me and was great quality time for the two of us to be together.
