Washington D.C., Smithsonian Style

About four months ago I took a journey. With only a general direction in mind, I took off in my car. While I knew my final destination, the rest was a gigantic question. My starting point? Fargo, North Dakota. I'd lived there for 3 years. My destination? Plantation, Florida, Where I'd planned to live for an undefined amount of time. I knew it could be a couple months or a couple years.
I'd just graduated college and decided to take some time off and just be. Be whatever it was I wanted to for a questionable amount of time. I packed up my car, my sister Bridget, and we hit the road. We spent a week driving to and down the East Coast, doing whatever we wanted to do and seeing whatever we wanted to see.
One of my favorite places was Washington D.C. In all it's magestic capital glory. There is some sort of feeling you get when you visit your nation's capital for the first time. While it's too difficult to describe, I can tell you it is a humbling experience.

You hear about hardships and glories in your countries history, but they really come to life when you visit D.C.
We only spent a day there, and we could have spent a week. We drove in late one night and stayed in the outskirts of D.C. in a cheap motel. The next morning we hopped on the Metro and for a cheap $5 (round-trip). The subway took us straight to the heart of the country. , and boy was it amazing. We gazed and discovered, cheers-ed our $2 hotdogs and learned a lot.

There are so many awesome places in D.C., but the first I will write about is the string of Smithsonians.
MY GOODNESS.

This was SO exciting. Being an Anthropology major, I could hardly contain my excitment. Afterall, the Smithsonian is home to the birthplace of American Anthropology. I was basically drooling at everything I saw.

And Ooo, look, look what I found!

Moccasins from around the United States. Cool!

Stay tuned for more about D.C.

Moccasin Approved.
