Jefferson Monument |
Accommodation:
Hyatt - Took advantage of Keith's points and stayed for free.
Activities:
John and Joanna drove to DC while Keith flew in from Denver and Shawna flew in from Raleigh. We all arrived on Friday evening in time to go out for dinner and drinks. We met up with Marcy, a friend of Joanna's from undergrad.
On Saturday, we mostly walked around the basin to see the monuments and the cherry blossoms which were beautiful. That evening, we met up with Jim, a friend from Fuqua, for dinner and drinks.
