I just wanted to thank everyone for the great recommendations for my trip to DC. Funny story... we got into the city and it was a beautiful 83°out. So we went to Mexican and got some margaritas. Apparently mine were extra strong, lol. We got to the Washington memorial and I decided to take off my 5" heels and lounge drunkenly on the lawn, looking at the beautiful blue sky, gazing at the reflecting pool in the distance and far off, the Lincoln memorial. I wanted to sober up a tad... we could see the skies darken up above Lincoln. Being a Seattle native, sudden summer thunderstorms aren't on our radar, especially with alcohol clouding my judgment. Well, it came on lickity split and drenched us within just a few minutes. We ran barefoot to the reflecting pool but by then gave up on trying to stay out of the rain. It was easily 70-75° so it wasn't cold. We kinda skipped to the Lincoln memorial, took our pics and ordered an uber. We spent the night in our airbnb with Chinese food listening to thunder claps like nothing I've ever experienced. The next morning we ended up having to cancel plans and take a train into Baltimore. We saw so very little BUT we had an experience that I'll always remember.
