Weekend in DC


This weekend was fantastic. The weather was good, not perfect, but nice enough to go out, without being too nice, which kept the crowds away. The cherry blossoms were starting to open and the outlet shopping was a success. It was nice to get out of Boston for a few days and enjoy another city. It made me miss living in DC a little. I love the history and the buildings that make DC what it is. Of course nothing could be more home than Boston is, but I do enjoy the District a lot.

The Top Five Moments of the Weekend
5. Getting much needed manis and pedis in sketchy Chinatown
4. Seeing one of my really good friends from home in the District (we had to both be there on vacation to see each other! So wonderfully random).
3. Having Potbelly's turkey sandwiches for lunch...Saturday and Sunday!
2a. Visiting my other boyfriend Abe Lincoln (yes, he's my favorite president and yes, I love him) 
2b. Getting an AWESOME deal on the bag I wanted for Christmas at the outlets. Like 70% off good.
1. Asking my non-Welsh friend from Wales what the Terra Cotta warriors are made of (turns out they're made of terra cotta. Who knew?)



Overall, a great time. We saw the sites and took in some culture (the Terra Cotta warriors were so awesome). Getting home Monday in the rain was a whole lot less fun. But I made it. And it has finally stopped raining in Boston, so it's good to be home.
