#12 Georgetown stroll . .

#12 Take a walk through Georgetown - preferably around Halloween

I took my walk through Georgetown on Halloween, yikes! There were people and cops everywhere but the energy made it very fun. I absolutely love Georgetown. I live two blocks away and I try to visit as much as possible.

I even ran into Lady Gaga!

#13 C & O Canal . .

#13 Ride a bike along the C&O Canal.

This was quite possibly the best afternoon I've had here. I seriously felt like I was in a movie. Bikes have that affect.

#20 Pray at the National Cathedral . .

I've visited the cathedral three times and I'm just now getting a picture. It felt unnatural even though people were snapping photos like it was going out of style.

In summary, it was less awkward then I expected, more awkward than it should have been.

You'll probably love this as much as I did . . .

#4 Arlington Cemetery

Arlington Cemetery - Count every headstone in one row, while still being respectful.

I never thought a cemetery could be so appealing. My first stop was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I practically ran to the tomb because I knew the changing of the guards would take place shortly after I hopped off the metro train. I went from being in a frantic scurry, to a state of complete solemn wonder during the ceremony.

Each step the soldiers took was precise, each phrase was perfectly cited and the feeling was surreal. I enjoy observing things that are done exactly right.

I couldn't help but admire the soldiers for being so good at what they do. That may sound silly, but a person who can do exactly what they are told every time is a rare gem. But what was most impressive was that they know why they were doing what they do.
