Erin and her friends wanted to go someplace close by for a weekend since it was during their spring break and they were all poor students. So I played chauffeur for a few days and drove them to and from the nation's capital. On Saturday we ventured around the National Mall area. Pretty darn cold that day but we still must've walked a good 6 miles or more just taking in the sites. Pretty good day for the kite-flying event that was part of the Cherry Blossom festival though.
