Yes, I have returned, and I bring photos and stories you all probably don't really care about to aid in telling the bizzare, funny, heart-rending and fantastic story of my trip to Gaithersberg and how :iconriesz: and I destroyed the capitol.

Saturday:
Mostly me, :iconriesz: and her dad messing around the mall, and playing Soul Calibur 3... And stuff... Also saw some trains and made gay jokes

Sunday:
We decided to venture forth and find some of that Stephen Colbert ice cream, unfortunately the store was all out. :/ Drove around and hung out with :iconriesz:'s friend Bill. Beat him in SC3 a couple times and had many... Interesting debates.
Later we saw Ratatouille(sp?). Damn good film (but The Incredibles is still my favorite.)

Monday:
Went out to Washington D.C., got harassed by aggressive Green Peace people... (Especially this one lady who's intimidating glare still fills me with RAGE!!)
Anyway, here's Congress!

\o/
Then we went to the Library of Congress (Madison building) got library cards and... sort of... lied to the government saying we'd do research (we did do some research later however, so it's ok... really... really really...) The inside of the actual Library of Congress is crazy, fucking sweet!!

We wanted to take a pic of the main reading room, but there was this angry guy who looked like the evil president from 24 who told us we couldn't and kinda stalked us... He was creepy. Here's the reading room:

After that we wandered around and saw some of the Smithsonian Museums, notably the National Garden:

and the Native American Museum:

We had Buffalo Chili and stuff there, that kicked ass! They also had... "Official Native American drinks", 30% of which was cheap alchohol not related to Native Americans at all...
Yeah! Stereotyping in Washington!!
Oh, and we saw the NASA museum 15 minutes before it closed!

Tuesday:
4th of July!! We hung out, watched TV and... stuff... Don't remember, no photographs taken, STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!!

Wednesday:
Went out bright and early to see the National Cathedral and later the zoo! *gough* -i'mnotgay-
I will say, before I forget, on the way back home we saw a guitarist singing about jesus, then he stopped for a moment and said "Fuck I'm good!" or something to that affect.

At the Zoo they had vending machines for Hotdogs, so we had to see that:

Thursday:
We umm... We...?
We did things, I forgot... We got sick from chicken wings too!

Friday:
Went to the mall, had fun, talked a lot, played video games, etc... Lol, it's not as boring as I make it sound, but, yeah. I dunno, you had to be there GET OFF MY CASE!!

Saturday:
Said goodbyes, really sad... Southwest had some strange setup... Did things in front of :iconriesz:'s Dad that makes me think he hates me... Prolly... Wesley...

So yeah, that's it! I got more pictures, but I don't have the webspace to upload them. :<

P.S.: I'm not accepting payment in Red Pandas as well as U.S. Dollars.
