A few weeks before school ended, two of my friends and I
were able to cross off an item from our spring semester bucket list:
paddleboating on the Tidal Basin! We came across them when we were taking in
all of the cherry blossoms and wanted to do it then, but they were closing for
the evening. So, we decided to come back another day, but life kept getting in
the way. It took a month, but we finally found the time on a beautiful Sunday
afternoon to head down there and finally do it. It was a lot of fun! Tiring of
course (they rent them out by the hour), but so much fun. Since there were 3 of
us, we had to take a 4 person boat. From in the Tidal Basin we had the perfect
view to take in the scenic sights of the surrounding monuments. If you are in
the area and have time, I would definitely recommend checking this out. Here is
the website for more information: http://www.tidalbasinpaddleboats.com/
And, like always, I have pictures of the outing!

On another note, I am staying in DC all summer, interning,
taking classes, and exploring the city, so I’ll keep you guys up to date on
what I’m up to over the next few months!
