extra, extra! read all about it!
as the trip to Washington DC, that is
Left friday at 4am. to bradley. got there, checked in, and had time to spare. Flight left at 6:40 arrived at philly. Yes, we had a layover. a longer-than-usual layover bc we were supposed to leave at 9:05, didn't leave til 10:30. bc we didn't have a stewardess. NOT TO MENTION WE HAD THE SMALL ASS PLANE THAT WE HAD TO WALK ONTO!! was not expecting that. caught the b-30 bus to greenbelt, transferred to red line, and finally got into DC and our first stop was chipotley. brought 4 (count 'em, 4) burritos. we each ate one (kelly went with me, duh) and brought the other two with us. hopped back on the metro and headed to cheverly MD to check into our hotel. Took a taxi. paid the taxi. checked in, tok showers, and took the shuttle back to the metro and went to...whree did we go? around. ALLL over. went to crystal city mall, (4 story mall baby!) shopped and browsed til 830ish, went on a search for CVS, found one after asking a wonderful gentleman where a 24 hour one was (eveyrhting closes at 9) and it was in...chinatown. brought random things we needed at cvs (including a fan. headed back to metro, to cheverly stop to go to the hotel. got there about 1030ish. there were no taxis. there were no busses running past 945. there was no shuttle called the hotel, and the called a taxi for us. taxi driver almost wouldn't pick us up (apparently they all travel to the next stop to pick up a taxi). but he brought us to the hotel. paid the taxi (twice so far) and took showers and spent time together, moved the beds together and slept. Woke up at 8, grabbed breakfast at the hotel (for free) took the shuttle (runs every hour 8am-8pm pretty much) back to metro. went to: smithsonian, watched the cherryblossom parade, travelled the vendor line, got free ice cream, free starbucks, made cranes drew chinese words, took pictures, got "i am asian" mcDonald's bags (for free) and went to chinatown for lunch. HINT: NEVER ever go to chinatown for food. it's all overpriced or terrible. hit the metro again, went to...........oh! dupont circle (gay circlee!!)and browsed there. headed to the metro to go back to the hotel. missed the shuttle by 8 minutes (read: took another taxi--third time--) and showered and got re-dressed to go out to a lesbian bar. filled our free waterbottles (courtsey of cherryblossom festival) with puckers and vodka, and picked up shuttle to metro to the smithsonian to see the monuments at night. drank like mad. laughed. made the straight ppl jealous (hahahahhahahah) ate mcdonald's french fries, found the metro, headed to the lesbian bar. tossed out waterbottles prior to hitting the metro (can't drink on metro, or drink around the mall (where all the monuments are...it's technically called the mall...) and found the lesbian bar. I drank two drinks and most of kelly's tow drinks, made several trips to the bathroom (for fun, not due to sickness) and left the bar to go to the hotel. made it back (somehow) to not our metro stop but the next one and called a taxi who actually CAME to pick us up, brought us to our hotel really fast...i think i offeneded him by asking him why he was a taxi driver...ordered really bad pizza that the hotlel guy said was really good, offered to buy the pillow that was in my room (it was really comfortable) and the guy said no...and ate one piece of pizza and then i passed out in bed. woke up the next orning at 930 or 10 i dont' remember which, packed, moved furniture back, checked out, went to meet k8, returned the fan at cvs (it was missing a piece..and yes i was sober when i put it together) ate with K8 and one of her friends at cheesecake factory which sucked ( di didn't really like to food) but afterwards, kelly and i found the mickey's (75 mickey's to celebrate his 75th year..) and took about 56 pictures... :-) totally made my day. and got gelato that i didn't like but kelly did and then we went to the metro to go to BWI airport...got there, checked in, went through security...had 2 hours to spare. read, ate some of our food we took with us, boarded the WALK ON plane, stopped at philly, shopped a bit in teh airport, got on the plane, landed in bradley at 11:47pm. waited for the shuttle, got to the car, paid for parking, got home, dragged our suitcassees in, found contact case, and sleeping meds for kelly and crashed. woke up monday at 630 kelly went to work i worked on my paper, and then went to work and then class and then home and proceeded to drill a partial hole in the wall (to thread cable line to the bedroom) and unbenowst to me kelly was passed out in bed (i didn't see her under the covers) and stopped drilling, ate dinner together, and wathced the l-word and passed out again. today kelly got up at 635 to go to work and i woke up later. like 815 later. and that's it so far. i unpacked our luggage but have other things to do but i am SO not doing them...lol
