V is for Valkyrie

Washington D.C

Posted by: branwynne77 on: July 10, 2009

I am back, safe and more or less sound, from my trip.  It was fun!  Washington D.C didn’t really look like I expected it to, but I got some great pictures of the Vietnam Memorial.  (I write for the Punisher in a Marvel RPG and was thinking it might help clarify some of the character’s anger. Boy, did it.  I just about cried and was haunted by the names….and there were a lot of them…written in stone.)

I got pictures of the Lincoln Memorial when it was overcast and then when it was sunny.  Beautiful, either way, but it shone a brilliant white when it was sunny.  I ended up walking a lot.  Got exhausted.  It was a long trip….fourteen hours of driving,  four hours of looking around, and not much sleep was obtained at the hotel. Had a weird vibe.  Plus, Julie snores.  I kid, I kid.

When we went to Washington D.C, we met up with some WoW friends and partook of some Thai cuisine.  Not only was it beautifully presented, it was delicious.  Unfortunately, Thai food doesn’t agree with my diabetes, so I ended up not feeling so hot. (258!!!) BUT….so good….  Well, ok, I really oinked out too.  Couldn’t help it. Wanted to try everything .  My favorite dish? Fried rice with shrimp and assorted spices. Yummers!   Oh and the sweet and sour veggie platter? DEE-LICIOUS.

I had such a great time.  :)

Now to get caught up on my Marvel Uncensored writing duties…. Oi vey!

Sounds like a great vacation. Yay!

Did you eat at Thai-Tanic? I am pretty sure I saw that in DC.

No….but I don’t think I would. Just because of the name. I forget the name of it, but it has excellent food.
