Perhaps the greatest thing about DC is that it reminded me so much of home. It was the best way of easing back into New York life. It's a real city with a real subway with a real Shake Shack (yum!). While it's fun enough to simply walk around and take in the gorgeous DC architecture, there's a ton to do. Perhaps my highlight (besides watching X-Men: Days of Future Past) was visiting the Spy Museum. "Operation Spy" is totally worth it. While it's meant for children, this interactive experience was a ton of fun for the four of us--clearly, we were far more immature than the other children in attendance. Perhaps the most poignant moment from the adventure came when we had to discuss whether or not to torture a hostage. Everyone (including us) stood on one side to say we should torture, but one 8 year old child stood on the other side, reminding us that it's an ineffective and morally wrong decision.
He convinced us all against torture. Good job, kid.
