For Thanksgiving 2017, my buddies and I chose to spend a week together in our nation's capital. It only took about a trillion "Have you bought your flight yet?" texts before we were all united together again for the first time in almost a year. After lots of catching up (which according to Andrew is "like binge watching a show on Netflix, only better because it's real") we got to experience the city where our political system operates -- along with trying to find an open restaurant last minute on Turkey Day, playing House of Cards (that might've been just me...in my head), and walking around a city that has more history packed into in that you could imagine. It was a bit chilly, but I'm proud of how well I handled it as weak Southern California native. Also I saw legitimately the largest rat I think anyone has ever seen.

Ever.

All in all, it was a solid 11/10.
