taking the capital by storm

last week i went to washington dc.  it was supposed to be for a trial ad competition, but we all know it was an all expense paid vacation. i went with some of the coolest kids in the school, and im fairly certain we never stopped laughing.  highlights:

theme of the trip: bacon

told the entire plane to DC things about me that no one should know.  i thought i was keeping my voice down.
passed around a box of chocolates.  flavors-disgusting. flavor finder-incomprehensible.

rented a minivan that felt like an aquarium inside.

2 law students locked 4 more law students in a mini van.  could not escape.

had a panic attack when the window rolled down but couldnt figure out how to roll it back up

figured out the back seat of a mini van is called the "way back"

listened to jeff snore
im apparently a high maintanence eater.  who knew?

watched jeff cut his velociraptor toenails.  youre welcome, roxy.

discovered that jordan is the most responsible of all of us

feared that joseph's wife would have her baby.  well, we feared. he didnt.

got less than 4 hours of sleep every night

listened to eli tell crazy stories, of which he has a plethora

met up with my cousin and aunt.  made said cousin sit through 2 rounds of boring trial ad

bickered with some catholics

went to a great restaurant.  great restaurant downgraded to ok restaurant when the 50$/plate bill came...

aunt paid for my dinner :)

changed our eating schedule to 9 am, 2 pm, and 11 pm 

did a picture scavenger hunt

broke my camera while taking a pic for some asian tourists

had an allergic reaction.  to hot chocolate or jefferson's memorial.  which, i dont know.

ate seafood, halal kabobs, schawarma, brazilian churrasco, cheesecake, among other stuff.

wiggled squid tentacles in josephs face

went through a body scanner

caused a security crisis with manderin oranges

got some free girl-on-girl action with a TSA pat down

gave the rest of my friends some free girl-on-girl entertainment courtesy of the TSA pat down

tested positive for explosives

got another massage courtesy of TSA

envied jordans 1st class upgrades

after telling the old lady taking our tickets that eli didnt want to sit with us, she replied "well eli dont have a choice." 

taking a nap on the plane to discover noone was in the same seats upon waking up.

standing groggily on the curb, avoiding looking at each other, waiting for rides 

oh yeah, there WAS a competition that we participated in.  Eli, Jeff, and I went to quarterfinals and Mary Beth, Joseph, and Jordan went to semifinals. go us.

here are some pics from the adventure:
