Washington D.C.

Last weekend a friend and I went to D.C. for a quick weekend trip. She had never

been to D.C. so it was fun to show her around since I've been numerous times

and felt comfortable showing her around. D.C. is such an awesome city so rich in 

history around what seems every corner. The weather was a bit chillier than we

expected, but nonetheless it was beautiful with all of the foliage.

Quick trip to D.C.

A couple weeks ago I had to go to our lovely nation's capital for work.

I usually have to go there once a year for work and although I'm
usually by myself {which isn't ideal} I'm starting to like it for a few reasons,
those being that I get to explore the city at my pace, see new things everytime I go,
 & try out new restaurants & hotels, so I can see what I want to do better
and differently the next time.

All in all not a shabby thing right?  This time it was a quick in and out trip, 2 days total.
The first day I was in a conference all day, but that evening after settling in my hotel
I went out to eat and then walked to all of my favorite touristy stops.  The evening was
so beautiful and the sun was shining brilliantly. 

The next day I went out to my favorite part of the city, Georgetown. 
It's such a quant and charming place.  I shopped, ate ice-cream,
went out to lunch and of course people watched...what else am I supposed to do?
I had no one else to entertain me, and people watching is by far the most entertaining thing
to do when by one's self.

If you haven't been to D.C. you must go, it's sure to lure you in as it has me. 

The District

Last week I was in D.C. for business, but of course I made sure to add some pleasure in there too.

I love going back east, it's so different from the west and what a wonderful time of year to be there when all the leaves are the most beautiful and vibrant colors.

I stayed with my dear friend Abbie and it reminded me how no matter how much time goes by if one is really great friends with someone it seems as though conversations pick up right where they left off. That was most definitely the case.

I also did some sightseeing in the evenings. I love walking around the monuments of our nation's capital. It gives me such pride to be from this wonderful & blessed country.

Funny story.

While walking around the Dupont area of D.C. Leyah and I noticed so many people everywhere. We weren't quite sure what was going on. We finally stopped and asked someone. We were informed that the 'Drag-queen high heel race' had just finished. Sure enough we turned the corner to see drag-queen's galore.

Yeowza what a sight!

It was good to do all the things I wanted to see and do{monuments, Georgetown, Eastern Market, etc.}, all while attending a course during the day.

I love mixing business with pleasure.

Greetings from The District!

I'm here till Friday and then heading to NYC.

I've been having a fabulous time with my friend Leyah and catching up with my dearest friend Abbie.

I'll fill you in on all the fun things I've been doing later.

But for now, I'm soaking up our Nation's capital and loving every second of it.
