Travel update

So the trip to DC came and went all too quickly, which tends to happen with spending time with good friends. As I said in my previous post, I took a train over to DC from Durham. The Durham station was small but cute. It had exposed brick walls, pictures of train cars from long ago and wood paneled walls. Here are a few pictures:

Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of pictures from our time in DC. I guess we were just having too much fun hanging out and catching up to take photos. We met at Union Station when I came in, and then headed back to Cassie's. She already had stuff planned for dinner, so we spent a nice evening hanging out and catching up.

The next day we headed to Georgetown. We spent the day window shopping and exploring the area. We had lunch at a cute little Italian place and then tried some frozen yogurt at Ice Berry. We also tried a great restaurant for dinner, going out for New Haven style pizza near Cassie's place.

On Sunday, we explored around Cassie's apartment and hit up shops there. Then we traveled out to see her work. But the trip would not be complete without a stop to Georgetown Cupcakes (the one from the TLC show). We went to their Bethesda location. The day before while in Georgetown the line went more than a block. In Bethesda, it wasn't that much better. We were a bit of a ways down the street, and of course it was pouring rain. Luckily, we only had to wait about 15 minutes or so. And then we had these goodies:

My favorite was the peanut butter fudge cupcake. Red velvet was also a hit with our group, as was the chocolate with the vanilla coconut frosting.

The next day it was time for Hollie and me to head out and for Cassie to head back to work. Hollie and I took the train back to Durham. Here is a pic of Hollie in the club car. We went to the cafe and got some snacks and enjoyed them in here.

All in all, it was a great trip, but more than anything, it was great to spend some time with friends I hadn't seen in awhile!
