Trip to DC!

This past week/weekend, we spent a few days in the DC area. We were able to spend NYE with some good friends (lasting until 4:30am!) and see many of the sites while there.


One of our favorite's was the Newseum where Derek enjoyed the FBI exhibit and I loved the Presidential dog portraits (of course!).







Seeing the Declaration and Constitution were also pretty neat.



But, to be quite honest, it wasn't the historical views, or the empowering tour of the Capitol, or even the amazing sights of the area at night that were my favorite parts. It was the gamers and sweets that made my weekend!

The "sweets" were the famous Georgetown Cupcakes that we indulged in throughout the weekend. I must say, they were by far the best I've ever tasted, even a notch up from the famous Magnolia Bakery in NYC.




And the "gamers" were those attending the Magfest convention held at our Hilton. They were up 24 hours a day in the meeting rooms playing their video games. Many dressed up and needless to say, it was the best people watching ever.
