We are all finally together here in Washing DC!! I arrived at Union station at 12:20pm And met up with Claire and Laura right away. We had lunch at Union station(Laura and I had a hotdog and Claire had teriyaki beef) then took the metro to the apartment one of my moms freinds daughter is SOOOO Kindly letting us crash in. 
After unloading we wandered down to the Washington monument where the memorial parade was and it just arrived as we walked up. We got great seats and watched a while!
After about an hour we decided to fast forward the parade and we walked up the street. It went on for about 2.5 hours (and there were huge 2 block gaps between parts so it’s amazing we had the patience) and we stayed for the WHOLE thing baking and sweating in the sun. (We did enjoy ice creams as a snack though). After we wandered up to the White House and took loads of pictures since there not a lot of people there! Since it was so hot we decided to just go back to the apartment and chill. We got cool and hydrated, inspected the sun burns, and decided to head for food.
We are Stoney’s (mixture of owners names tony and Steve) which was made famous by their grilled cheese. Claire and I shared a regular grilled cheese and Mac and cheese with corn bread. Laura had the super grilled cheese with no tomato. It was all amazing!! Great gooey cheese with lots of flavor, church but not hard bread, and a nice crumbly corn bread. 
After dinner we came back and the girls did laundry and we all showered and watched silly YouTube videos. It’s bead time soon for us since we have a long day ahead! Goodnight all and happy Memorial Day! Talk to you later!
