In the time I have been in DC I have realized that this was a once in a life time trip. But that means you need to make the best of it. That's what I did. It's an experience that is so wonderful worth such a good meaning, but it's not all roses. "You need to risk it to get the biscut!" That quote was from my friend Galen, and risk it is what we did. We walked for miles, but it didn't faze us! This is DC.
