19 Hours in D.C.

If anyone follows me on Instagram, you saw that Mason and I went to Washington D.C. last weekend! It was completely last minute, and it could not have been more fun! On Saturday, I passively told Mason that it would be fun to see the White House during Christmas. I had seen pictures online, and…
