I LOVE Christmas! I love it probably more than anyone should! I love Christmas music, gift giving, family time, the food, gift receiving, days off from work, decorations, Christmas trees, parties, etc! I love it! I found a cheap bus ride that cost less than $10.00 to go to Washington DC so I figured why not go and see the National Christmas Tree and see all the things I hadn't been able to see the last time I went! My friend Amber came with me!
The bus line we took was Megabus!!! It wasn't bad of a ride at all! I definitely preferred them over Greyhound!!!! They also offer free wifi but it didn't work most of the ride! Amber and I made friends with the people sitting behind us! They were cool shit!
We got to DC Friday evening and met Amber's friend, Bryan, and his girlfriend, Annie! We went out for dinner and then went to see the National Christmas Tree and all the State Christmas Trees! I can tell you Massachusett's tree was pretty boring!!! I LOVED it! Then we bid adieu to them.
We went to our hotel at the Days Inn and then met up with my friend, Patrick in Adam's Morgan to party for the night!!! We went to Peyote's Cafe and did some karaoke...well, more like I did some karaoke! Some guy bought me a shot and chatted with me before he went MIA and a group of guys told me that they were shocked that I sang "You Oughta Know" good. Adam's Morgan is not complete without a stop at one of those pizza places. I went to Jumbo Pizza and got a slice! Amber didn't think I'd eat the whole thing but boy did I prove her wrong! haha. The slice of pizza is probably the size of a small-medium pizza!! It's really huge! On the way back to the subway, they were going down the escalators too fast for me (I really had to pee) so I stopped and talked to some stranger who's name was Butch! Poor Butch. Hahaha..my drunk ass was probably a little overbearing. He did give me his number though.
Saturday we got up early and did a tour of Ford's Theater (where Abe Lincoln got shot), walked around and found Whoppi Goldberg (it was fake), visited the Washington Monument, waited and sat with Santa (yes, we really did), checked out the Arlington Cemetery and saw the changing of the guard, and listened in on a talk at the Lincoln Memorial. It was a busy day!!! We ate at Moby Dick's, which wasn't as good as I had remembered it!!! We then met up with Amber's friend who we were staying with for the night and we went out to a new area in DC!!!! We even met up with Butch!
Sunday was a crappy day! We had to get up early to get on the bus. I had woken up early to use the bathroom SEVERAL TIMES!!! My stomach did NOT like me! Even on the way to the bus stop, I had to stop and use a bathroom! The whole way home, my stomach hurt and I had to go to the bathroom!! I either had the stomach bug that was going around or I had food poisoning (which could have been either of those)!! Also, Amber lost her ticket to get back onto the bus so she had to pay for another ticket!! So Sunday wasnt a great day! I was so happy when I got back home!!!!
