Washington, DC


My trip to DC was short but memorable (hence the very late post!). Besides the historical landmarks and plethora of museums, the district is full of diverse, smart people and delicious food for every palette. Within my short trip, I only had amazing French (Bistrot Du Coin in Dupont Circle), Vietnamese (Rice Paper in Eden Center), Indian (Rasika, Penn Quarter), Ethiopian (Meskerem, Adams Morgan), and of course.. cupcakes (Baked & Wired in Georgetown). Maybe it's impossible to find bad food here?


My brother and I having lunch in Dupont Circle after touring the White House.





These kids were wearing matching vests... it was even more adorable when they all held hands as they walked towards the Washington Monument.



Perplexed but in awe of LL Cool J in the National Portrait Gallery. The pop-culture nerd in me even found Stephen Colbert's portrait(s) by the restrooms.


The 9/11 exhibit is one of the most beautiful, touching tributes in the Newseum. I've never seen a viewing room more full when a mini documentary was being shown.










Georgetown is so pretty during sunset. We walked along the canal after dinner and on our way to dessert.



The three days I stayed were filled with so much eating and learning in such a short distance of each other; I'm certain I've found my happy place.
