TMA Journey: On the Home Stretch Through Balt/DC

After a fun night out in VA Beach (of course, wearing our pink tank tops all night), we headed to the beach in the morning for a little fun in the sun.

Team Awesome continued the search for Greatness by stopping in the great city of Washington, DC. As a part of our mission today, we were asked as a bonus to get John arrested by DC police. After walking around and scoping out our best option for hopping the fence to the White House, we decided that TMA may not want to put forth the money to bail John out, so instead we just had Basia show us her “guns” (wow).

As we walked around The Mall, Amanda wanted to play soccer with some good lookin’ boys, while Kristin wanted to go play softball with the lawyers. These thoughts of playing games in front of the Washington Monument quickly faded when a softball almost hit us and a girl playing yelled, “Watch out, tourists!” Awesome.

We stopped for some pics in front of the White House and the Washington Monument before meeting John’s sister, Giorgia, for some karaoke. Watch out LA, Amanda has a new found passion and now she can’t stay off the microphone!

Giorgia and her friends showed us an amazing night out in DC. We couldn’t leave the bar without singing “Don’t Stop Believing”and “Shoop,” but the DJ (aka “Brown Sugar”) wouldn’t let us sing “Friend’s In Low Places” so we decided to sing it as we walked down the street. Team Awesome did such an amazing rendition of the song that the people walking in front of us moved to the other side of the street.

In the morning, we woke up in Baltimore and continued our journey from Camden Yards to Philadelphia.

First stop in Philadelphia, the Liberty Bell, then to Independence Hall, where the movie “National Treasure” was filmed. Someone said that some important thing was signed there, too...

No stop in Philly is complete without a stop to eat Philly Cheese Steaks, and of course, the bathroom shortly after that. At the Philadelphia Art Museum, Amanda and Kristin raced to the top of the steps, while John and Ross lagged behind. Rocky would be proud.

BTW, Basia and Ross got divorced.

Next stop… New York City, which is Latin for "Greatness"!
