i went to the district of columbia : day five

or should i say day last day. :(

day five docket:

eat a nice breakfast provided by the one and only dot chon

a session at the DC temple 

CAFE RIO

unique thrift store, again

some random mall

airport 

..i think we had big touristy dreams of going back into the heart of DC but we were just too tired. 

this breakfast was such a little treat. beth is the best planner and puts so much thought into the smallest of details. she threw the best parties at the yellow house! i miss those dang parties. 

anyway. the temple was SO good. so so good. i usually don't go wild over the inside of temples (kind of feels like if you have seen one you have seen them all) but the inside of the DC temple is probably my favorite.  from the long window from floor to ceiling hallway to the malificent's castle looking stained glass to the paintings of some moments in america's history, everything about it dazzled me. yes, dazzled. and the stadium seating in the endowment room helped me not fall asleep so good! i'm very glad we made this happen, it was easily one of my favorite things about my trip. 

just your classic picture of a utah girl with her sweet pork salad. it was delicious, and definitely worth the drive. but for the record, i'm still a costa vida lover through and through.

had to go back to the biggest thrift store of my life. beth and i had such a nice time going through all of the treasures. i don't know how people gave this stuff up!

you better believe bought that wolf carved sling shot for her boyfriend. 

(YES i just said boyfriend. and NO i didn't ever meet him and 

YES, beth, i'm still upset at you because of it). 

there is no picture of our time at the mall because we were maybe there for twenty minutes but boy was it a success! for some reason they had lots of great shoes on sale at urban (that i found out later shouldn't have been on sale) so this girl splurged and bought three pair! 

i was happy until i remembered our next stop was the airport. so this is us being sad but happy inside that we got to see each other! my trip to DC was really so much fun and i'm very grateful for my sweet friends who pretty much dropped everything (even took work off a few days!) to be my tour guides. 

love you lots dc girfs!
