Tom and Jane

Two of my best friends, Tom and Jane, came to visit around the 4th of July.




We hadn't moved in to our new place yet, so they were stuck sleeping on a mattress on the floor of our old basement apartment. (Sorry guys. You can return the favor in September.)

It was bloody hot out, so after one sun-filled afternoon listening to Jazz on the mall, we decided to focus on cooler activities, like visiting the monuments at night. Even then, it was STILL in the upper 80's when we wrapped up our trip to the WWII Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial... and that was darn near midnight.

Despite the heat, visiting the monuments at night was definitely worth it. It's on my Favorite Things In DC list.
