The Road Trip: Washington DC
Oh Washington DC. We essentially only had one day to explore you, but we made the most of it. We started the day early by going and visiting the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum, followed by the American History Museum. Then we went on a two hour bike tour of all the monuments. That was followed by lunch and then the Portrait Gallery. I wish we had more time. I wish it weren't pouring crazy rain. I wish you had a better public transportation system.

Road Trip : Louisiana
After Texas, Tom & I drove to Louisiana. We stopped at Sam Houston Jones State Park, just because it was convenient to do so. It was Memorial Day weekend though & the campsite was pretty full. It was still good though. I got to hold a baby alligator, Louisiana has the nicest welcome center employees I've ever encountered & I am awfully glad I read that "beware of alligators" sign the morning after we camped, or I might have not been able to sleep.

The Road Trip: Texas
Tom & I have always wanted to go on a road trip across the country & we decided that now would be the perfect time to go. So we packed up our things, I quit my job & we set out across the country and back. We left late one night & drove through the night all the way to Marfa, Texas. I wish I had pictures to explain the cuteness that was Marfa. The town was the tinniest thing & you could walk the whole thing in 15 minutes. Unfortunately, I didn't load my film correctly, like a rookie, and the only picture I have is the one above. We arrived and set up our tent at El Cosmico, which was a lovely place. Seeing as we had driven through the night, we were dead tired, but one can't fall asleep at a campsite at 2pm, so we set off to explore. I ate the most delicious burger in my life that afternoon. We then headed back and rested and read while lounging in hammocks. Then badness happened. It got ridiculously windy. So windy that even though our tent was set up perfectly, the wind was so strong it made the tent lay flat. Camping turned out to be impossible, so we packed up & drove to the next town over, rented a room & fell asleep. Either way, Alpine was good to us, despite only having one radio station.

Rock, Flag, and Eagle
The Mister & I spotted a rock painted like an eagle today while we were out & about. Naturally we decided to pull over and snap some pictures, despite the fact that i was wearing heels and it was over 90 degrees out. Tom remarked that I was like a mountain goat with heels on. It was loads of fun even though I did come home with a cut on my leg...
