my new favorite city.

i have a new love. washington d.c.   i love everything about this city. the metro is so convenient and easy that even me, small town girl from new hampshire, navigated from dupont saturday night all the way back to clarendon, va which included a metro change and a cab ride. the people are so nice (even the homeless... yes, i've talked to a few - sorry mom & dad), the city is CLEAN and the architecture is beautiful. one of my favorite things about this city is the architecture, which would only be natural being an interior design major. 


i took today to walk around DC and have been swept away by the brilliance of the city. i got lunch with an old friend, and afterwards have just been walking around being a typical tourist and loving every minute of it. i went and saw the white house, walked around china town, saw beautiful brownstone townhouses that i marveled at for a solid 30 minutes and now am sitting at a cute coffee shop on 12th street listening to some cranky 20-something-old girls talk about how much they hate their roommates, and i am the most peaceful, happy girl right now. after i finish my skinny macchiato (i had to get something other than my normal medium dark roast, i wanted to feel "sophisticated")i'm heading to view the lincoln memorial (because i want to continue my tourism) and then i will hop on that orange line and head back to clarendon in order to prepare for the national championship game we'll be watching tonight!


check back later this week for my personal pics from D.C. til then, war eagle!
