National Cathedral

With only a few more weeks left in DC we are trying to hit up some more DC tourist places. This city has ENDLESS things to do. There are a few museums we just won't get to do this time around because of the prices..

Saturday we made a trip to the National Cathedral. It wasn't really a stop D wanted to see but I "made him" go see it!

We rode the metro to the closest stop. It was 3 miles round trip from the metro to the cathedral. It was a balmy 30 degrees plus gusty wind and humidity on the walk... FREEZING COLD!!! That part wasn't fun, but once we got to the cathedral I was geeking out. I LOVE architecture. Especially older architecture. The craftmans ship and art and patience that goes into something like this is just awe-inspiring. I wish I could go back in time and observe the builders and see how they do it. It amazes me.

It cost 10 bucks each to get in, but totally worth it. You can take a tour with a guide if you want, or you can do a self-guided tour with a brochure. We chose the self-guided tour and wandered around.

 Beautiful stained glass windows everywhere!

 You can take an elevator up to the 7th floor to observe the surrounding city. It's SO awesome! I love the archways everywhere

 SO gorgeous!

We walked back to the metro and went up to Bethesda to get some Georgetown cupcakes!! AKA DC Cupcakes for all you TLC fans =) They're Salted Caramel cupcake is DELICIOUS!
