It was my second year for celebrating here in Washington, D.C. and very memorable. My new friend and co-worker Morgan (she's from Texas! Woo!) spent the weekend with me and that in itself was loads of fun. The weekend started out with a white-water inner tubing trip down the Potomac on Friday and a concert on the Capitol lawn.
It was so bright outside!Saturday was busy, but fun. We spent the majority or the day preparing for the bbq that we were hosting. The Southerner in me really comes out when I am hosting an event that involves food.
The picture is a little blurry, but this was an AMAZING cake.
Then to the day's main focus...fireworks. We had a great group and a great spot for the fireworks on the National Mall. We were right under the Washington Monument and about 200 yards from where they were shooting off the fireworks. The night would not have been complete without the amazing American tradition of apple pie.
Melissa, Rachel and I waiting for the crowd to disappear before making sardined metro ride home.
