Despite growing up just a few hours away, over the weekend I visited Washington DC for the first time.
I got to explore the city for a few hours on Friday and see all the sights. DC is beautiful!
Good thing Jessi has a supurb sense of direction, since I can’t even seem to use Maps correctly. Umm…
I was in DC for the Visionaries Retreat, which I also helped organize. Visionaries is the business community of my church, and it was great to hear from amazing speakers like John Bevere and Steve Dubbeldam (whose wife created one of my favorite magazines, Darling!).
It was an incredible couple of days – I learned so much, and am excited to bring the ideas back into the real world to further my career/passions.
I got home last night, and 12 hours of sleep later I had another great lazy Sunday.
Most of the day was spent with a smoothie by my side…
…and season 3 of HIMYM in process. It’s the simple things, you know?
Have you ever been to Washington DC?
What was the highlight of your weekend?
I grew up in the DC area, but every time I visit it, I am amazed at how wonderful it is. There is so much beauty and culture all around you! I’m so glad that you finally had a chance to go to DC for your first time!
Also, the pictures you took are beautiful!
I live about 45 minutes from DC, but I don’t go there as often as I should. Every year I put that on my list of things I need to work on, and every year that’s one of the things that never gets crossed off! One of these days
I love love love Washington DC!
How random, I just went there last weekend for the first time and took a few of the same pics
And if I’m not mistaken my location thingy did the same thing re Hong Kong Disney! I wonder why it does that! I actually went to HK DL a few months ago so I thought it was some glitch with my settings, but apparently not! Hope you had as great a time as I did!
I love Washington D.C.! I’ve visited there several times, but not recently, but each time I go, I fall in love with the city all over again. The surrounding Maryland suburbs are beautiful, also.
Weeee! I’m going for the first time this weekend, send me recs!!

I work right across the street (well, across Lafayette Square) from the White House! Glad you got to enjoy this beautiful city!
