This semester the McConnell Center took another trip to Washington D.C. Washington is always a great experience, especially when you are given the opportunity to meet and speak with the people who keep the country running. Those experiences are ones that will never forget; however there are plenty of other things that make Washington a memorable city. Getting lost trying to get to the Old Post Office Pavilion and then having some lady follow behind you yelling because you wouldn’t give her money is one of those experiences.
One of the best experiences was walking the monuments at night. Zach, Meagan, Kiser, Ben, Neil, and I decided to take go see the monuments one night we were there. Not only does seeing the monuments at night give you a change to view their true beauty, but the 5 mile walk there and back also gives you a chance to have good conversations with friends. We did realize that the EPA takes up about 4 city blocks, but hey we need good air right? Washington is a city with a lot to offer, especially for young people looking for the perfect balance of business and fun. Everything in Washington is beautiful; you just have to take the time to appreciate it.
