Today we went into Washington D.C. It was gloomy and drizzly most of the day, but we made the best of it. Lisa hadn’t been here since eighth grade so she needed to see all the major sights.
But, before we went someone went on a DD run!
And we had to have breakfast. Kristin has a ton of different kinds of cereal that I added to my yogurt. She even had Kashi granola, which I love!
Then, it was on to sightseeing! We hit up the Lincoln Memorial…
This really never gets old. Every time I come here I am just in awe of the amazing people that worked so hard and did so much for this country. 
The Jefferson Memorial is a good one too. Every time I come to this one there is a Ranger giving a great talk. I love that they are so animated and love their job.
Snack – Lisa and I shared a soft pretzel. We needed fuel from walking around so long. 
I also had some carrots and pepper strips at the Washington Monument. 
Then, we hit up the White House. 
It was a fun day!
And Matt tried to take over the White House 
Lunch –We went to the Abbot Grill for lunch. By this time we were beyond hungry so we scarfed down the bread before I felt the need to take a picture.
I ordered the crab cake. It came with jicama-apple slaw and asparagus with a lemon aioli. What is up with my new found crush on crab cakes? 
Then, it was back to the sights! We hit up the Korean War Memorial. 
And the World War II Memorial. This is probably the newest monument.
It was so great to hang out with Lisa this weekend. We hadn’t seen each other for almost a year. One should never wait that long to see friends.
After a long day of sightseeing a big dinner was needed, okay wanted. We made veggie burgers and sweet potato fries. I also had coleslaw from yesterday. While we cooked I munched on chips and salsa.
Dessert. I am watching the last LOST and am freaking out! I am eating cake to dull the pain.
I will leave you with one of my favorite pictures of the day… 
i really enjoy Katy Perry’s just released song California Girls. It’s extremely catchy and enjoyable to hear every single day, its my fav song rite now.
I just took my PSP out of the cupboard after a long time. It has the custom firmware 2.71 SE-B” installed. Since I’ve been out of the scene for quite a while I really have no clue where to start. I tried one of the threads in the tutorial section which advised me to update to 5.03 official firmware, but when I try doing that I get the “DADADADA” error (I guess because I already have a custom firmware). So what is the best method for me to get to the latest and greates custom firmware? And also, which one is the best custom firmware to use at the moment?
Please help if you can, I have a PSP 2001 I bought about a years ago with CFW PSP 2001 CFW 5.00 M33-6 with stock psp battery, I have 2 16Gig memory sticks one I have now found is a fake magic gate and one a real one both worked equally as well before. I have over the past year had no problems what so ever with it reading and playing games off the memory stick however, not all ISO’s or COS’s could be seen or played but, the ones that would play played with no problem.
This is very intresting, You are a very skilled blogger. I have joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your great post.
Lovely pics, Monica!
I´m sure you all had a blast together 😀
Wish you a wonderful week, girl!
Brazilian XOXO´s,

Love DC!! So glad you had a wonderful day in the city with the girls. Enjoy your time there.
This is a great post, I stumbled across your article while looking for lyric updates. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be sure to recommend this site to others.
It looks like you guys have a great time together! That soft pretzel looks perfect 🙂
I’m not going to lie, I cried when lost was over- not sure if it was because I was so confused or its the end of an era. My friends made fun of the letters people wrote that they showed during the special commercials but I could totally relate!
You look like you’re having a great time. Isn’t seeing good friends the best? I’m making my first visit to DC next month and can’t wait. Can you believe I live in NC and have never been to DC besides driving through it for trips elsewhere?
I’m glad you had a fun time sightseeing with your friends, despite the dreary weather.
I’ve lived around DC for almost two years and still haven’t seen the White House. Everytime we try, our plans get derailed.
I’m glad you had cake to dull your pain. Cake has magical healing properties.
We went to DC at about this time last year! It’s a good time to go since it’s not quite as crowded or super hot!
What’d you think about the last Lost? It’s hard to believe it’s over! I’m in shock!
Summer is my favorite because it’s CHERRY SEASON! I could seriously eat a gallon of cherries for dinner and be A-ok.
I could eat cherries for a meal and be happy too. I’m sure I have in the past 🙂
I have never been to D.C. so it was really neat to see these pictures! That cake looks fantastic.
Looks like a great day! I haven´t been to DC in years and need to get back there. And I miss Dunkin Donuts. Why California does not have these, I have no idea. Whenever I fly back east that is my first stop in the airport!
Love the picture of your friend in the “Oval Office”!
So fun! I’ve lived here my entire life and never get sick of Washington. It still gives me a thrill to turn a corner and be in front of the White House, or drive along the GW Parkway and see all the monuments across the river.
I totally agree. I think DC is so cool.
Love that last picture. Thanks for including it.
Looks like you had an awesome time in DC + with your friend! I love it when people come visit me and it gives me an excuse to act like a tourist. So fun!
