Oct. 29th, 2007 12:34 pmSo... wow. I want to move to DC. Seriously.
Surprisingly, all of my flights were decent and there were no delays in Detroit. I think this is the first time EVER that I didn't have any delays in Detroit. And best of all, Northwest didn't lose my luggage!
Got into DC around... 4ish and was picked up by the ever wonderful![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jateshi and got to see the box known as her car. Drove around to pick up stuff for dinner, then headed back to her place to crash.
Spent the majority of thursday driving around with Jate's mother and seeing a wonderful fabric store that made my mother weep. Thursday night was the National Symphony Orchestra. Oh. My. God. Erich Kunzel owns my soul. Completely and totally. Met up withwook77, janicechess and misterchess at the Kennedy Center and had dinner there at the KC Cafe -- which is done cafeteria style. I have to say it's hysterical to watch people wearing Dolce & Gabbana evening wear... and carrying trays around. Took us forever to find a seat too. But the concert was amazing. I was slightly disappointed in the concertmaster, but then again, I'm partial to violinist and Schindler's List too. Then the concert ends... and half the audience has gotten up when Erich announces there's one "Ditty" they didn't play. And launch into the Cantina song.
Friday was known as meet-up-day-o-doom wherein I made Jate drive all over the place to see people. Lunch was at this pretty Italian restaurant called Buon Appetitos withwook77 and chrome_animagus. The guys in the restaurant kept jokingly telling us to settle down. We were a bit rowdy though. *cough* Then that evening we went to Minerva which is this really awesome Indian eatery to have dinner with cruisedirector and apaulled. And went out for ice cream that NONE of us needed after that large of a meal.
Saturday was the touristy thing. Wandered around the Georgetown area which I have completely fallen in love with. It's like a little slice of London right here in the states. In other words, I need to get my ass into gear and start studying for the LSATs as I need that 170. *mutters* That evening, I got to meet the infamous Dinner Group. Blade Runner- The final cut was playing at one of the theatres so I got dragged to that. Movie wasn't bad and I did enjoy it. On the metro ride back to jate's I was told that they were keeping me.
And then Sunday was the trip home. So never expected it to take 40 minutes to get through security on a SUNDAY morning, but there you have it. Barely slept the night before as we wanted to watch The Reduced Shakespeare Company. Up at 6 am and by the time I got home, I kept falling asleep on the couch.
In other words... I had an absolute fucking blast in DC. And need to figure out how to a, go to school down there or b, when I can get back.
