we began the day with a first encounter with...
chocolixir. decadent indeed. satisfaction guaranteed.

the outside of union station. the weather was incredible. perfect for our carry-your-backpack-and-visit-places-like-a-hippee day.

DC is really a monument city. there's plenty to see but not much to do. anyway, from the front of capitol building, you can look all the way down to the lincoln memorial.

i felt dwarfed by the massive fortress that was capitol building. then again i felt empowered with standing in front of it.

what really amazes me is the amount of detail that goes into the contruction of the buildings; everything from the pillars to the sculptures feel like they've been put in place for a greater purpose and meaning.
later that evening, it was "bye-bye" to DC as we boarded the amtrak for our ride to boston. we had a mini-xmas countdown on the train. stories from the seaside city of boston coming soon!
everything from DC.
