Back from my fabulous, but oh-so-short weekend in Washington DC. Had to wake up at the brutal hour of 4:30 a.m. this morning to catch my flight, but it was well worth it. Above are pics from the weekend (yes, i realize there are no monument pics - will explain below). That's me and the incredible Kimberly Wilson, aka The Hip Tranquil Chick, in front of Kramer's - a kickass 24-hour bookstore in Dupont Circle. There's also a pic of the studio from outside (see the Tranquil Space sign on the left?) and of the TranquiliT Boutique where I bought some super cute and environmentally sustainable pieces.
Besides meeting up with my tranquil chick, taking a yoga class at the studio, and shopping around Dupont, I also sampled the nightlife in Adams Morgan, had brunch at Belga Cafe in the Eastern Market neighborhood and also bought some yummy candles and a beautiful journal from the outdoor flea market for which Eastern Market is known. Caught a bus to Georgetown and walked up and down the fabulous Wisconsin Ave, checking out the local (and tres expensive) boutiques, then walked along M Street-Pennsylvania Ave. to the downtown area. Sat. evening we dined at Ole Ebbitt Grill (phenomenal crabcakes and delicious blueberry cobbler!). Did not get to see the monuments in all their glory (though i did walk by the White House), but those will always be there, right? :P
All in all, i had a most fabulous trip, navigated the DC metro and buses like a pro, got some hip and tranquil goodies, and can't wait until my next trip!
