Washington D.C - Day 1

Well, after trials and tribulations of planes being broken and flights being missed, we finally landed in Washington, DC!!!  After getting off the plane, we successfully loaded our Metro cards, found our bus to take us to Trinity Washington University, and ordered some delicious pizza.  Despite the lights not working in "the Rachels'" room, nothing tragic has happened thus far.  Today we woke up and were on the move by 10 am to make our way to the National Zoo!  That is, after a quick stop by Starbucks.  Luckily for us, the zoo was a lot of fun and the weather wasn't too terribly hot.  After our afternoon at the zoo, we walked over a mile to the Washington National Cathedral where we joined another large group for a tour.  By the time we made the trek back to the Metro we were hungry again so we stopped by Union Station and all ate Jonny Rockets burgers and milkshakes, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful day of sight-seeing.  Once we were done eating, we walked around the station for a while then got back on the metro.  Ironically, once we got off the metro to get on our shuttle to go back to Trinity, Micole was sitting there, as if waiting for us.  Now we are about to enjoy a relaxing night of hanging out and watching a movie!
