Ah, the Newseum! What an incredible place! It's a six floor paradise in my eyes. Amanda, the girl in the black and white argyle sweater, and I, the other girl :), both met at Judiciary Square. We walked to the Bakery Cafe, which is right up the street from the Newseum. If you ever get a chance to enjoy D.C. bakeries - you must! Their food always looks so good!

Anyways, we went to the Newseum and it was incredible! I touched the Berlin wall, and even saw a piece of the twin towers from 9/11.

On the bottom floor, there is a great cafeteria and seating area. There is also a classroom, which is where we began our trip through the Newseum. On the second floor of the Newseum, we were able to stand in front of a camera and read the teleprompter! I'm doing all that I can to be a reporter someday, and I felt so comfortable on camera!

On the very top floor there is a terrace that overlooks Pennsylvania Ave. It is such a gorgeous sight to see!

D.C. has been absolutely incredible so far. I, however, am very absent minded and have decided to give three helpful tips on every post - because I've made these mistakes and if I can prevent someone else from doing the same - then it was worth it. Sort of.

1) Don't wear heels in the city. Wear boots, bring heels.
2) If you park at a Metro station, remember the level you parked on.
3) Don't slug on early days - you have to wait until at least 3 to find a ride.
