Washington, DC truly is a remarkable place to visit. There is so much to do and see that it can be overwhelming. When I'm not working I'm always out with my roommates doing something, and that's one of the beauties of this place, the never ending sense of wonder.
Just up the street from my place is a nice sports place where I go to catch the Seahawks and the Sun Devils games. The nightlife is nothing short of thriving as well with just about every DC district having it's own distinct feel and personality. I can see why experts say that DC is the "youngest" city in the country. There are so many young professionals here at a similar point in their lives and you can see this extensively on any Friday and Saturday night. If you go to Georgetown be prepared for great food and an awesome college crowd. It reminded me a little of being back in the Tempe area, although Georgetown is nationally well known for it's nightlife, shopping, and food.
It should also be mentioned that I had one of the best haircuts of my life in the short time I've been here, that's a pretty huge deal. Moving on.
Sooner or later I want to take a trip and see the monuments and museums again, although since I've already done a majority of those things previously it doesn't feel like a pressing matter. It has been nice to just enjoy myself when I'm not working rather than feel pressured to fit something into my schedule. This is the best way to experience DC for sure.
I can fully appreciate having a great haircut! As a girl, I obviously go through a more extensive process when getting my hair done, but I don't even want to deal with trying to find a place here in LA to get a trim!! Sounds like too much of a hassle!
ReplyDeleteFinding the right place to get a nice haircut is always a hassle, but a necessary hassle. haha
DeleteI love DC, next time you are there visit the News Museum it was always my favorite! actually everything touristy there is pretty impressive I always loved field trips to DC, even though everyone in Philly has a grudge against them for taking the declaration of independence from its rightful home in independence hall where it was written and signed, but I digress. One year we went down for the fourth, at the time I was really mad not to be home for the holiday but now I appreciate how awesome it was I even saw the president (clinton) speak. I am sure you will have even better and more awesome stories to tell.
