// During our downtime from working on the house, we decided to go and play a game of Ultimate Frisbee on the National Mall. I've never seen the Capitol at night, nor the Washington monument, so it was simply breathtaking to be able to see these icons of America so close yet so real. In an interesting way, it is a great reinforcement of patriotism.

Although we couldn't see the frisbee (it was a little darker than we planned), we had a blast (Shout out to the winning team! - Allison)! Next time we'll take pictures. Hopefully our German and Spanish friends brought a football (meaning soccer ball) so that we can play an international game during our international competition.

See everyone soon.
