Ben's Chili Bowl, the National Mall, Sushi and Shindigs!

My roomies and I began the day hoping to get to Georgetown but the "GUTS" bus doesn't run on weekends so our plan was unfortunately thwarted.  Instead, a few of us went to Ben's Chili Bowl on U Street with other UCDC'ers.  I had some great chili cheese fries and a chocolate shake which I would return for in the future.  Then we proceeded to do some sightseeing throughout the National Mall.  We had the pleasure of seeing the MLK memorial, the FDR memorial, the Lincoln memorial, the Korean war memorial, the WWII memorial and the Washington monument.  It was such a gorgeous walk and the weather was fantastic today--all you needed was a light sweater!  After seeing some amazing sights we went to a great little sushi restaurant near Dupont circle.  I finished off the evening going out to some local hotspots with some great girls from UCSD, finally getting a little taste of some Washington DC nightlife!
