And then, Arlington.

"The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission."


Not to jump on the whole "Cemetery are cool!" bandwagon (no emo here!) but like wow, Arlington surpasses cool by a lot! Partly because I was with fabulous friends (shout out to the bb's uptop!) but also because when you see the massive amount of graves, and visualize the people buried there, the sacrifice people have made for our nation (for you! for me!) becomes so undeniably amazing. Freedom is a very costly thing.

"We will always remember,

We will always be proud,

We will always be prepared, 

so that We may always be free."

HEY, MR. LINCOLN

On probably the best day of the trip, I forgot my camera! Typical Kryn fashion. Actually, that's really unusual Kryn fashion, because a camera (in my opinion) is always to be had. So there's a bucket load of iPhone photos to make up for the fact. We toured the monuments and walked forever, but what else is DC for?

(▲▲ selfie in action! there should be a hashtag for that!!!)

Probably our best day in DC! The weather was great, the friends were just right and we got to walk A WHOLE LOT. Which was fine by me, but my feet weren't so thrilled the next day!

And Here's the Thing About D.C.

We've been to DC a good many times! We've seen the sights, visited the monuments and all that jazz. But after this trip, I'm happy to report that D.C is fresh every time. I was worried I would be bored as we toured Mount Vernon again or yawn at the sight of the Capitol that I've (sadly!) taken for granted. But DC Is beautiful no matter how many times you go, it's eternally wonderful!

Also, this trip was lovely! Because I made friends, and I get to see them again! Teen Pact is fun, but you never see those people again. But this time, I'll see my #bbgirlgang again and again and that make it all the more wonderful.

More posts, yes!
