Okay. I've been away for a bit. I tried one day to update my blog, but I had to do it with my phone and it was not cooperating. So here's what I've been up to. We arrived in Washington D.C. at about 2 and then took the metro to a station kinda near our hotel and walked a mile and half (we thought it was closer) to our hotel in Georgetown. We were staying at the Ritz-Carleton. Oo-la-la. Then my husband had groomsman duties, so while he did his thing I went for a run. I asked the concierge for a 5 mile run and he handed me a map that did not even have street names on it. I got lost. Then finally I saw this after I was headed over the Potomac (but didn't cross it yet)
:
I then did my little running tour of the mall. Saw a guy on a horse (I don't know the people petting it, though) and Mr. Lincoln. 
Ran across the mall, stopping at the Smithsonian Castle and ending at the Capitol Bldg. 
Then I headed back in the direction of my hotel, but wasn't quite sure where I was going. Found that I was close to the White House, so I decided to take a detour to see it. 
These pictures are quite grainy. I took them on my cell phone, which I carried in my pocket along with some id (Just in case). At the end of the run the corners of my id had created an ouchie on my leg. So the "5 mile run" was quite a bit longer. I got back after 2 hours, but I'll just count it as 10 since I did stop to take pictures. The rehearsal dinner was at the W Hotel on the top floor. Overlooked the White House. It was pretty swanky.
