I made it to the metro and headed downtown to meet my friend, Jennifer. I was early and so I got off a couple stops earlier and found a McDonald's to eat at since I hadn't eaten lunch yet. The restaurant was huge and there was a sign that said only McDonald's customers could be in there and that they could be in there no longer than 30 minutes. (My guess is that they have a problem with homeless people coming in and staying there all day). Then I decided I should go to the bathroom before I left and I ended up not going because there was a sign that said you had to have a token to get into the bathroom and that vandalism was forbidden and someone was in there and I didn't feel like waiting. (I'm a little impatient sometimes.)
I wandered over to the metro and found a little farmer's market, which I would like to wander through some time when I have more time. Then I hopped back on the metro and got off at the stop to meet my friend Jennifer, but I was still early so I wandered some more. By this time I really had to go to the bathroom but I had no idea where to go.
I found a tiny 7-11 and asked if I could use their bathroom. Thankfully they let me, although it was not a public bathroom. I had to walk down this steep little staircase into a windowless little basement while waiting for a guy to come out of the bathroom. I think I really surprised the guy because he jumped a little when he walked out and I was right there. I told him why I was there and he said that was fine. When I came out out of the bathroom, the guy that had come out before me was praying on a rug on the floor (it was about the time of day for prayer call).
After I left the 7-11 it was time to meet my friend. We had been planning this for a couple of days and so I was excited to meet up and go to our destination. We walked from George Washington University to Georgetown Cupcake. Georgetown Cupcake is a famous cupcake shop because of it's deliciously awesome cupcakes and the many different flavors they have. Jennifer had ordered ahead of time and so we just walked in and paid and found a table outside to eat some of the delicious cupcakes! I had a pumpkin, spice cupcake and it was really good! I was definitely not disappointed by the cupcakes that I had heard so much about:) We had bought some extra cupcakes and I brought some home for Lara and Glen to try.
After we ate the cupcakes we walked across the Key Bridge and went to Theodore Roosevelt Island. We saw the memorial to President Roosevelt. I really liked it, although Jennifer said she thought it was a little creepy. I think it was the time of day that we were there. (It was starting to get dark). Then we made our way to the metro and headed home.
Overall it was a really good day! Adventurous I must say, but really good!

Anytime you want to make another field trip to Georgetown Cupcake, just go right ahead. I won't stop you. I promise.
It does sound like an adventurous day. And topping it off wth famous Georgetown cupcakes sounds like a good way to finish up. You certainly have used some interesting bathrooms in all your travels.
