CAPTAIN AMERICA: WINTER SOLDIER

So how did I get from visiting my grandparents in Cleveland to D.C. so fast?

They are filming Captain America: Winter Soldier on the streets of downtown Cleveland. You might remember that Cleveland doubled for NY in The Avengers.

 We were reading the paper at Grandma Higgins' house and saw a picture of an awful looking car crash. Turns out, it was part of the filming. Once I told Joey that they were filming the next Captain America, I was informed that we had to go see him! I told her that they were just filming car chases, and that we weren't going to see him... but apparently we had to go anyways! 

 There is the D.C. Metro sign, green fire hydrants (Cleveland doesn't have green ones) and then we got to see them practice the car chase, and then film it for real. We must have seen them shoot and reset 1/2 dozen times. Joey's make-shift cape served two purposes, 1st as a cape, second to keep her warm. It was freezing! And the wind off the lake didn't help.
