another weekend passed

FRIDAY
Morning class was a drag, as usual. We had two women who work for the federal government speak to us about the perks of their jobs. I wasn't too impressed, because I didn't learn much and it took up very valuable hours of the afternoon on our day off that we usually use for sightseeing. Kristine and I ended up walking to the National Air & Space Museum, which was actually a lot more interesting than we had expected. After walking back home, we decided to stay in for the night.

SATURDAY
Kristine and I went to the White House Visitors Center. It was a little less impressive than we had imagined, but the video made our trip worth it. We stopped at a few touristy gift shops and The Peterson Home (where President Lincoln died after being shot in Ford's Theatre) before calling it a day. Ford's Theatre is currently under construction, so we won't be visiting there. However, we did find another little theatre on that side of town where we might check out a performance or two.

We decided we needed to try a new bar on Saturday night. We had a girls night, and six of us went to My Brother's Place. We went early in order to get our money's worth out of the $15 *all you care to drink* wine and beer, and we were nervous that the bar was going to stay empty all night. Just like back home, the crowd started rolling in around 11. Everyone had fun, and we met some nice guys. A few of them came over to our house, which didn't settle well with some of the housemates. Win some, lose some, I guess.

SUNDAY
We slept in a bit too late and missed church this morning. Much like previous Sundays, we needed a day to just relax and rejuvenate for work in the upcoming week. And don't worry, we did make it to 5pm mass, which was an hour and a half long. I guess that was our punishment for sleeping through our normal service. We learned our lesson.
