Since I can remember, I have been playing the St. Louis Arch game. When entering the city, the first person to see the arch and declare it wins the game. In addition to playing it with my friends on the way to the city, PDub used to send me a text every time he passed it on the way to school stating: "I see the arch; I win." This let me know where he was in his journey. From time to time, I still receive a text from his mom saying the same thing. We obviously haven't been able to play this as often as we used to seeing that Houston does not have any major landmarks; however, we hit the jackpot in D.C.
Over the past week, PDub and I have travelled the 8 miles into the city for dinner, drinks, and errands (yes, we have made more friends...I'll introduce you to them later). Each time, PDub decides to play the arch game only with the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, White House, Capitol Building, Kennedy Center, Jefferson Memorial, and any other landmark that we should pass. If you ask me, he has a case of the cheating...

| Washington Monument |
I am amazed at this new home we have made in our nation's capitol! I am no longer a tourist in this city, but I will always love driving past these landmarks knowing that I get to see them as often as I want. As for the game, it's time for some ground rules!
