Alex had a med school interview at George Washington University yesterday, so we went a few days early and turned it into a long weekend vacation too! Here's Alex on campus:

Arlington Cemetery

Captiol Building

Lincoln Monument

Obviously we did a lot of walking, and often got quite dehydrated. While we were shopping at Whole Foods Alex's need for water became so strong that he actually drank water from a cup that had been abandoned in the deli/restaurant area. That's right, as you can see in the picture above, Alex the germ freak drank someone else's drink. Thus, he saved $1.15 by not buying a sterile bottle of water from the grocery store in which we were currently shopping. I really don't understand his frugal ways sometimes.


it rained pretty much the whole time we were there. while waiting to eat at Old Ebbitt's we sat in an alcove to get a little shelter. here's a picture of alex reading the 'onion' to pass the time, but the real reason i took the picture was because of the number of asian tourists riding Segways behind him.


last but not least... reagan airport. i love the architecture.
