I really want a street vendor pretzel on my way home. But the tourists have finally left DC so there won't be any trucks. #cantwin (@TheScribblePad)

After weeks of email exchanges, finally met up with @goodiesdc today. That truck serves a damn fine root-beer float. (@brfreed)

Got a proper watch tan while studying on the lawn today. 100% worth it. A perfect day. Although I could do without all of the tourists #DC (@MatthewFried)
