Oh, it was a 3 day weekend of fun!
Friday, Lauren and I went kayaking down the Shenandoah River 11.5 miles. IT was absolutely beautiful, being just between the mountains and having amazing views any way you looked! We pretty much complained most of the way...mainly because we had to paddle the entire trip because the water was BARELY moving. Not to mention the countless number of rocks I got stuck on and the one I almost flipped on. The weather was perfect, not hot, almost cold...however the sun was still out enough to give me a nice sunburn. It was absolutely worth it.
Friday evening we headed into the National Mall to listen to the rehearsal of "A Capitol Fourth." We heard The Muppets, Natascha Beddingfield, Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, Jersey Boys, the National Symphony and a couple of others that I don't remember the names of. It was quite worth it and the weather was great! There was quite a good crowd but nothing like was there on the 4th!
Saturday Lauren and I headed into DC for the July 4th Parade and then went party hopping. Ending up the night hanging out with some fun Aggies and celebrating the 4th with yummy food.
Funny story: At the Texas State Society Picnic...they had baked beans, and I LOVE baked beans...so I had myself a plate full, yes, a plate full. Well, Eric, remembered this, and they had a nice large pan of baked beans just for me (of course I shared)- - pretty amazing, and they were delicious!
Sunday we decided to have a "college day" and didn't leave her apartment until 3pm when we hit up Target and then concluded with pancakes at IHOP.
Perfect??? I think so.
Hope your fourth was happy!
I managed to not get stuck on the rocks you can see in this photo!
but Lauren managed to get stuck here...stuck so well she had to get out of her kayak!
