I've been AWOL

Nothing too exciting has been going on in my life. I work, I play sports, and I go to random things in the city.

On the 4th of July, I decided that I didn't want to venture to the National Mall since it was going to be crazy crowded. So I went to the Air Force Memorial. It was definitely way less crowded and I was home pretty early.

I didn't actually take photos of the fireworks because:

a. fireworks have to be the most difficult things to photograph (especially with a phone camera) and 

b. I was busy enjoying the fireworks.

So here are a couple of "pre-fireworks" photos

Air Force Memorial

 I saw this van vacationing in style. Unfortunately I was not up with popular culture to get in on the jokes and tweets of "Sharknado" using this bad boy. I did however post it on Instagram and got the most "hearts" that I'd ever gotten. So clearly Steven Spielberg, Anthony Ferrante, and this family understand that Americans like sharks.

I took the 5th of July off and went with a bunch of people from church to Harper's Ferry, WV to "tube" down the Potomac River. Apparently sunscreen does need to be reapplied within a 3 hour period if you are on the water. I didn't get too badly sunburned, but my legs were noticeably pink.

I'll have to blog about my ventures into the city another time since this post is getting lengthy. Happy Summer!
