I am now in a nervous spin of pre-event jitters. I am worried I my suitcases will get lost or the box I mailed to the hotel will have been... captured and held ransom my Hotel Elves. I am frantic about forgetting something important and about people not having fun or me not having fun due to other people and AUGH!!!
Today was hellish at work, and I very much wanted to come home and take my half-a-valium from my hoarded stash of two whole tablets and drink some wine. I did neither. I drank water and went to yoga instead.
Packing is done. Except for the little stray bits you put in at last minute. I have a list.
Once I get there, bags intact, I will feel much better. And when I am in DC there are three things I must do. You are all witnesses.
1. I must take the subway somewhere. I have never been on a subway. Ever.
2. I must by a baseball shirt for my wonderful husband who lets me gallivant off across the country. They are the Nationals, I think. I will forget. Someone must help me find a shopping venue. SRSLY.
3. I must go to at least one or two museums, because I am a geek and I really enjoy going to museums.
I know I will have a fabulous time and see wonderful people. I hope there is time for some sightseeing/shopping fun in places like Dupont Circle or somewhere. But those three things must be done.
Okay, I try to go to sleep now. Try being the word, there.
AIEEEE TOMORROW I MEET PEOPLE I'VE KNOWN FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SEEEEEEN. And I get to see friends I've seen once or twice in two years. It is all good.
*spins off in a whirling dervish-y way*

I also rec the Hirshorn. They have the best couches--very comfy.
You might want to take a look at the newly refurbished American Art museum and National Portrait Gallery.
For Nationals stuff, there is the shop on the third floor of Pentagon City Mall (Metro: yellow or bluelines, stations: pentagon city), or the team has their own shop at RFK stadium (metro: orange line, station: Stadium Armory), or you can get Nationals stuff (I think) at the Verizon Center (Metro: yellow or green lines, Station: Gallery place/China Town).
Welcome to the white city and have fun!

The above is VERY IMPORTANT. Unless you like cranky locals bumping into you.
