Saturday marked the end of my stay in Washington, DC. To kill time until my flight, I left my things in a locker in the hostel after checking out, and went back to Union Station to buy a "Looney Tunes" DVD box set I saw on sale there for very cheap (but forgot to buy). On the way back, I unexpectedly ran into A*, who was on her way back home as well. After having lunch and going to a bookstore, I got my things, headed to the airport, and headed home... on an airplane packed with dozens of teenagers (who apparently were on some sort of field trip). The rest of the evening was uneventful; I did laundry and unpacked.
To summarize this trip, other than the humid weather (and noting a rather large homeless population, sadly enough), I enjoyed my time spent in the nation's capital seeing the various museums/neighborhoods, and thought the people there were friendly. I'm also glad to have finally gotten to meet several of the people I've chatted with online. I'd visit DC again, but only during the non-summer months...
EDIT: Suppose this should've gotten added to yesterday's post, but here's Carl from FoolBlog remarking a bit on Saturday's Nats game and a bit on the game we saw Friday night, including my reaction to the Presidents' race's similarity to the Brewers' sausage race (not sure if I'd say I was "incensed" though, just bemused at the Nats' race imitating the Brewers' races). Though suppose Carl has a point about "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"---given I'm the person who likes (and has written on here about) the Flintstones, a show that's "the Honeymooners in the Stone Age"...
