WASHINGTON D.C.

Day 4~ Captain's Row~ Old Town Alexandria

Captain's Row was where all of the Captain's of the ships lived in 1783! I loved this road; it was cobblestone so it reminded me of England:)

The owner of this house came out when I took a picture of her door; she was waiting for a friend to stop by and thought I was them. I apoligized for taking a picture of her door:) She said that people actually take pictures of her door all the time!

This door was part of an old military barracks

This salad was absolutely amazing! It was a lobster cobb salad.


I forget what restaraunt Mom and I went to for lunch, but all of their walls were covered with drawings of famous people that had come into their restaraunt for a meal

Cherry Trees and still more monuments

Vietnam War Memorial
I wanted to get a picture where it was like the statue of the men were staring at the wall of names and remembering those that lost their lives.

A monument that was hidden in the trees (I'm not sure if it had a name or not)!

On our walk to the Jefferson Memorial

The Cherry Trees were absolutely gorgous! The weekend we left was actually the start of the national Cherry Blossom Festival in D.C.; I was so bummed we had to miss it, but I guess thousands of people come every year! It was nice to be able to walk around and take pictures without having a lot of people around.

Cherry Trees over by the Smithsonian

I remembered this area from the last time my family and I went to D.c (when I was in 7th grade I believe)

I had seen this place online, and really wanted to go (since I like anything banana) haha so my mom and I got on a train and went to the Banana Cafe, which was pretty much in the ghetto:) But it had a mix of Cuban food and Mexican food, and it was delicious! They had the best salsa, banana daquiri's and banana dessert EVER! Definatly glad we braved the scariness of the area to go:)
