Following a whirlwind first day in D.C., Day 2 began with an early-morning visit to the Sculpture Garden outside the National Gallery of Art off Constitution Avenue. After some exploring, it was time to hit the metro to catch the Mets-Nationals game at Nationals Park.
Who could resist a stop on the way to sit in a giant Astroturf chair? Not us.
Despite some chilly weather, it was a beautiful day for a ballgame. When the sun finally came out from underneath the cloud cover, there was an audible moan of delight from the crowd.
Despite holding a 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the eighth, the Mets missed out on the four-game sweep, surrendering a three-run inning to fall 4-2. After a spirited debate at how we always bring bad luck directly to our favorite teams in person, we realized that the Presidents Race made up for a lot of the sting of losing.
Let's go Mets.
