Cornell had their fall break the second week in October. Seeing as Ben is not taking any more classes, we were able to create "fall break" when we wanted to. My friend Brittany was flying out to see our friend Katie in D.C. the third week in October... so that's when we had OUR fall break.
We drove to D.C. on Sunday and were excited to see our friends again. Monday morning we hit the metro and headed to Arlington Cemetery.. Tomb of Unknown Soldier, JFK, and Iwo Jima.

Hit the Air and Space Museum on the Mall and headed to Georgetown. Delicious lunch and cupcakes of course, at Baked and Wired, shopping. National Harbor, some real Mexican food, custard, and that was just the start of our evening.
Katie wanted to take us on a nighttime tour of the monuments, so we hit up all the big sites: FDR, Jefferson, Washington, White House, WW2, Lincoln. We ended up walking 5 miles but it was so amazing to see everything at night and without the crowd (not that many people were there on a Monday in October).
On Tuesday we were a little less excited about walking all around the city but managed to have a great day. Started off with the Capital Building tour, Library of Congress...
Supreme Court Building, Nat'l Archives, and decided to see Social Network.
After the movie we found this pub with a London style telephone out front... obviously Katie and I had to have a picture in front of it.
Overall it was a great trip and it made me love living in the east coast even more. Can't wait to see what else it's got to offer over here!
SUCH A FUN TRIP! Love the pics and can't way to meet up again! XOXO
