We took advantage of the nice weather yesterday to atten
d a Washington Nationals game against the Florida Marlins. The stadium was fairly easy to get to-a 10 minute walk and a 5 minute bus ride. We bought $5 grandstand tickets-we were sitting 4 rows from the back. I guess you get what you pay for! Although the Nationals have a terrible record, we had high hopes for an exciting game after the Nats took a big league with a grand slam in the first inning. That's really about as exciting as it got. A couple of the guys and I decided to leave at the top of the 9th because the Nats were still up. Of course by the time we got down to the ground level the Marlins had som
ehow tied it up. We stayed for the remainder of the inning but left before the game went to 11 innings ending in a loss for the hometeam.

At night I crossed off an activity on my list of things I wanted to do in DC. I went to the see the monuments at night. They are all lit up and look pretty cool. We checked out the Washington, Lincoln, WW2, Vietnam, and Korean memorials before deciding t
o call it quits. Unfortunately, the metro we had taken to get to the area closed by the time we got back to it and we ended up walking all the way back-about 3 miles. 
This weekend Eli and I also had to get our pictures taken for potential use in a Northwestern publication. The forecast was rain and we fought off a few raindrops for the first part of the "shoot," but fortunately the rain stopped and we only had to deal with some wind. I had my picture taken on the steps of the Supreme Court and Eli had hers by the Capitol. We almost had to stop the shoot before we started because a Supreme Court police officer told the photographer he had to have special permission to take pictures if it was going to be for a college magazine. So he had to stand on the sidewalk to take the pictures of me. Some creepy guy game up to Eli while we were there and gave her this paper doll to hold while he took a picture of her. It was a very interesting couple of hours. We're hoping photoshop will be able to do wonders with us!
