Danielah's Visit

Here are the pictures from when my best friend Danielah came down from New York last month. Enjoy the ridiculousness.

Wandering around downtown in the ridiculously cold rain.



Oh, did I mention Danielah broke her thumb and therefore had this ridiculous arm-length cast put on the day before?



Waiting for a table at Open City later that night.





Ridiculous, ridiculous dessert....



Then on to Adams Morgan...







Lunch the next day at Alero. Christina's actually not drunk. And Aaron actually doesn't hate her.



See? Ridiculous.





It's October, therefore Halloween.



Later, at the History of Medicine Museum at Walter Reed. This poster is ridiculous.



As is this expensive and useless surgical machine.



S'mores later that night at Cosi.



Yay!



Fire!







Christina hates this picture. I can't figure out why.







If you think any of these pictures are stupid, it's because Aaron took them.











I think this was taken at this angle.









One of these two decided a chugging contest was a good idea.





And then they decided to see if Danielah could feel anything through her cast.





One normal picture for the day seems about right.

Here are some pictures from a fun weekend. (Some were stolen from Amanda, some I took.)

Saturday - Katie, Kaitlyn, and Amanda entered the second annual literary dessert contest with Ms. Havisham's Wedding Cake (from Great Expectations)

And they won! Here's Amanda being crowned with the flashing tiara later that night at Denise's house
