My college girl friends get together every summer. They started by going to Las Vegas every year, then branched out to different cities. Their routine these days is an MLB ballpark city each summer. I joined them once, 14yrs ago, in Vegas, though you won’t even recognize me in the pictures from that trip!
This year they went to Washington, DC and I managed to join them again. I was a little nervous because in my mind they are still college age and I’m ancient, but when I got there and we reunited, we fell right back into the old comfortable friendship. Believe it or not, they are also aging! LOL.
I got a free bag through the wellness program at work. It arrived just in time! 
I flew on a baby plane that wasn’t even big enough for the walkway to connect. 
Best airplane window photo ever! :) 
This was a giant escalator!
We took a boat tour down the Potomac River, half listening to the announcer point out the sights. We had dinner on the other side of the river at a restaurant with a live band.
We spent the next day checking out the wharf area, exploring the Spy Museum, and taking in a Nationals game. The most fun of all though, was the hours and hours we spent talking and laughing and catching up.
It would be cool to see this light up at night! 
Cool building at the Wharf . 
Someone built a duck ramp onto the floating garden thing. 
The Spy Museum was pretty cool. 
Did you know Harpo was a spy??? 
I do now. 
The museum had a lot of very big, engaging, immersive exhibits. 
LOL 
After the Spy Museum we stopped by the Bullpen, outside of the ballpark, for a drink and some music before the game. 
This is a pretty nice stadium. 
I presume. I’m no stadium expert. 
Us, at the game.
I love these girls and missed them. I think I’ll be joining the girls trip more often going forward. :)
I had a good flight home, on another baby plane. I was in the airport when Biden announced he was exiting the race. There was a collective gasp throughout the packed terminal. It was wild. When I got home I was met by the cutest driver ever, who arrived with a cold drink from Starbucks for me.
Life is good. <3
Awwwe! I love this little getaway for you!! And the throwback was fun too!
