I felt the need to take part in this historical event and feel the positive energy of change and hope! Dispite the cold, congestion tight security; it was well worth it

My dear friend Noah had asked me to keep a few days open in the beginning of April for a surprise he had prepared for my birthday.  I figured we would be enjoying some local sites around New York City, but Noah doesn’t roll that way, oh no. So that Wednesday morning he asked me to pack my ba…

Back in 2005 a chance opened up for me to visit the east coast of the United States, including the nation's capitol. I gladly accepted.

Philadelphia and Washington (detail, later...)

Today's plan: National Portrait Gallery and then heading north.Dan and I headed over to the District Chophouse for lunch then walked to the National Portrait Gallery. We'd heard this place was worth the trip just to look at the architecture of the building and boy was that an understatement. It too…

Pictures from DC from throughout the last few years

Another last minute vacation, this time to DC, that my friend and I took. We both have part time jobs with some amazing pay and thought we should splurge a bit. We ended up getting back to Texas right before the Fourth, which made me incredibly sad as I watched the extravagant fireworks on TV.

OMG! On our last day we finally discovered that we could take a separate elevator in our hotel underground to the "Promenade." There was some eating places: bakery, yogurt, sushi, sandwiches, and some little boutiques (but these were junk). You walk a short ways throught the shops and the tallest e…

After some time haggling, Becky, Ken, and I headed into DC on the Green line Metro to see the Ansel Adams exhibit at the Corcoran Art Museum.  The 17th St exit was closed at Farragut North, so we took the long route to get the museum.  Once there, we headed upstairs towards the special ex…

On our way to Shenandoah, we drove down to DC to catch the Friday night game between the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles.  The sky and weather were gorgeous all weekend for both baseball and hiking.  We were pretty fortunate with traffic, but you could see major backups in …

I lived in Pennsylvania for over 2 years before I finally made it to DC. We had a fantastic time seeing all the monuments and visiting the museums and I hope to go back again soon.

it's political center of the states,so it's worth of visiting it...

I am a firm believer in pilgrimages. I strongly feel that there are just some places that people have to visit. The destination varies from person to person , culture to culture and belief to belief but I think that every American should visit Washington DC at least once in their life. It is the ho…

As per every other trip I've taken, the preparation for this one was no different.  I was so busy the day before trying to wash clothes, pack, figure out what I needed to take other than what I wanted to take!!  I didn't make it to bed until 11:45pm..  And got up at 1:45am to get rea…

Tamika, (sunnytj2000) had a birthday on Sept 1th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a …
