SVong-Along

A week ago, I was sauntering the streets of NYC and Washington DC catching up with friends and trying to make the most of my downtime from the law convention I was attending.

(Disney•Pixar/Disneyland Resort) I spent 12 hours on a Sunday at Disneyland and 3.5 hours on a non-holiday Monday at DCA, and checked out some of the food and fun.
