It is officially crunch time (not to be confused with the abdominal sculpting workout). I am returning to school this fall at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis for a pathologists' assistant program (if you don't know what that is, Google it). In addition to that news, PDub will be transferring to Joliet, IL (near Chicago). Look out midwest, two of your favorite Dubs are heading back. In the meantime, we have begun to complete all D.C. activities that we have neglected to do thus far.
Our first stop was the U.S. National Arboretum. First established in 1927, the arboretum has become a facility of research and education for the Department of Agriculture and the public. My father instilled a sense of outdoors into my being so walking around grounds filled with plants and trees is one of my favorite things to do. I recommend spending a morning or an afternoon at this off-the-beaten path D.C. location.
