These heels weren't made for walking...

Today marked a semi-momentous moment for my time here in D.C., I walked to church from the metro stop and then to Eastern Market all by myself...quite a time and hike and didn't get lost.

I visited Capitol Hill Baptist today and it was really great, but total culture shock to me. After church I walked down (or up, not sure) to Eastern Market and met David & Daniel and we had some excellent crepes from a street vendor.

We all hung out for a while, re-visiting the American History Museum to see the Presidential Exhibit which was really cool, guess what we saw there..

...That's right, College Station has made it's mark in the American History Museum with the "George Bush Drive" street sign..although the signs in College Station are not maroon & white, yet I'll take those colors any day!

After that, David suggested we should walk to Georgetown, said it was somewhat of a hike, but not too bad ---wrong. Let me just show you the route we took:

We got off the Metro at Foggy Bottom...there is not a Metro stop in Georgetown, and then eventually got back on the Metro at Rosslyn. We started at the black dot on the right of the picture and ended on the other end... It was an absolutely painful walk, not going to lie, because the shoes I was wearing - yea, black heels, at least 2 1/2 inches tall, (not a good selection yes I know)... We even went shoe shopping and didn't find anything.

Regardless of the pain I was in during the day or the pain I'm in now... I wouldn't change any of it for anything.

I attended a Superbowl Party with the family and had a great time hanging out with them and meeting their friends (who apparently had really been wanting to meet me.) It was a lot of fun and everyone was super nice.

I'm so thankful to be here...I can't believe it's only been two weeks, it feels like I've been here for a lot longer.

I'm loving every minute of it and I'm a huge fan of 'the big city.'
