The monuments are amazing.

Every year my husband and I trade off planning our anniversary, this year was my husband's turn.  He had to travel for work a lot last year and ended up will a flight voucher and lots of hotel reward points.  He asked me what I would like to do and I told him I would like to go to museums or go hiking.  We decided to keep the destination a secret from me, until we got to the connecting flight.  He had gotten us a hotel one block from the Smithsonian.  We stayed for a long weekend touring museums and visiting national monuments.  He picked the best possible destination he could have chosen, yet not one I would have thought of.  I love him, and love the fact that the person who is supposed to know me better than anyone in the world, not only does but knows me better than I know myself.
