First day of Internship

So my first day of Internship in D.C. First off I just want to say that people in D.C. are the most rude non-drivers I have EVER come encounter with. HORRIBLE. To make things worse, the streets and the street signs have no rhyme or reason to them what-so-ever. On the flip-side, what I did get to see of the city (as I was driving my the Monument and the White House) is gorgeous. Everything seems to flow so well, the traffic and the people going to work, people taking the bus, runners, bikers, etc. Anyway...

Today I was getting introduced to the whole crew at Hutchinson Design Company. The company is an event "design" company, with just four people, the CEO, President, and 2 event specialists...and now ME! Today I met everyone but one of the event specialists, she just recently got married and is still on her honeymoon. I was able to listen in on conversations with the client and able to understand more of what the event was about and what the client was expecting.
For lunch we went down to the National Harbor. It was beautiful...an outside shopping area with little ice cream shops and restaurants. My boss (Kyle) and I ate lunch at McCormick's and Schmicks and I got the fish and chips, but I was disappointed because it was so greasy it almost made me ill.
Anyhow, I got to ride around in his little white BMW convertible with white leather interior that he got in April...that car is beautiful. I met some people while we were out, I feel like he knows everyone! He took me by the Gaylord Hotel, which is amazing! Some of the parties he plans are at the gorgeous hotel. By the time we got back to the office it was practically time for me to go. Tomorrow is another day :)
