Final Four with the Fiesta

(Early morning--at least I obviously showered)

I took the Fiesta to Salem Virginia for the Division III Women's Lacrosse National Championship. The journey was long and we didn't receive the results we had anticipated. As Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I have to say about that." 

I took route 50 from Easton to Washington D.C. My directions took me to I-66 which begins on Constitution Ave. in downtown D.C. I didn't know this until I was pleasantly surprised but encroaching on monuments, museums and government buildings.

(Constitution Ave.)
The 6 hour journey allowed for plenty of pictures as well as exposure for the car. I enjoyed music, viewing monuments and there was even a Civil War Re-enactment at one point! Crazy! I was harassed by some Southerners who were not fancying my Northern styled talk, which is fine because I didn't like them either.

Due to my liberal politics and my "Northern" tendencies, traveling to Salem, VA is one of my LEAST favorite things to do. My predisposition leans toward being an independent, feminist, environmentalist, and creative person who is easily bored by this part of the world. Sorry, Salem, you probably don't like me either, we're even. 

(This poster has me on it! I'm the top right girl with the bun!)

We didn't win the Championship, but it was a good seal on my Lacrosse career and I was surrounded by fantastic people who I love dearly. 
PS
MY PARENTS SURPRISED ME AND THEY MADE MY  [OTHERWISE] CRAPPY DAY BETTER!!! :)
