You know how you just have those people who get you? Anne referred to them as "kindred spirits" and I'm right there with her....and so Ms. Amanda Smith is a kindred spirit for me. We were inseperable in our year together in Jacksonville and since parting ways have kept our coast to coast friendship strong (she's in LA now). She came in town for the July 4th weekend and we packed it in..what can I say, I've done this a few times.. :)
Here we are enjoying the fireworks in front of the Air Force Memorial. They were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!
Here we are enjoying the Waterfront in Old Town Alexandria.
Getting ready to go out and take in the 4th of July DC Style (note my shirt..it says "Handcrafted with pride in America" haha. I love this shirt, a Goodwill special ;) )
Sitting on the lawn of the Capital building on the 3rd of July gearing up for the free concert featuring Natasha Bedingfield, Aretha Franklin and the man himself...Barry Manilow (we were so hoping he'd sing our song "Mandy"..but he didn't :( Haha.)
This was our view on the lawn..not a bad spot. It was such a great night..perfect weather and just a ton of fun. Plus on the walk back to the metro, we could see the fireworks over in Old Town...one of those great DC moments..have I mentioned how much I love this town?! :)
We ate dinner Thursday night at this little grill by my house and they had a free concert..I love live music, especially on a summer evening...just so..perfect.
Just Amanda and I getting ready for our weekend...it was such a great time. We went to Gettysburg on the morning/afternoon of the 3rd for the reenactment (which I will blog more about) and attended the concert on the Capital lawn that night, saw all the monuments at night and just took in the town...it was a great weekend with a great friend. I love this girl and wish she lived closer. Come again Amanda!
