FRIDAY
Today we're recapping my trip (from 2 weekends ago) to DC. I had been at that spot i time earlier final yr alongside Andrew (you tin recap day 1 and twenty-four hr catamenia 2 here) as well as nosotros loved it. We were able to gibe hence much into 2 days at that spot as well as going dorsum this fourth dimension nosotros were laid upward for a to a greater extent than relaxing visit.
We left early on from go as well as hopped on a prepare downwards to DC. What's cracking close living on the East Coast as well as peculiarly inwards New York is that at that spot are hence many accessible cities a prepare ride away. We conduct maintain the Amtrak downwards as well as it's truly easy. They conduct maintain comfortable seats, on board restrooms as well as Wifi! Next affair nosotros knew nosotros were there.
This fourth dimension nosotros stayed at the Donovan House Hotel and loved it. The hotel itself was really cool, modern as well as was the perfect footling boutique hotel for our trip. I dearest hotels similar this because they truly conduct maintain fourth dimension to trend as well as deal their hotel to proceed upward alongside the uber cool feel.
We were welcomed alongside a bottle of wine, a plate of cheese as well as a killer view. The staff were also really welcoming, helpful as well as were ever on go on of their game. I would recommend checking out the hotel if you're visiting the area. It ended upward existence the perfect location too. Just a uncomplicated walk inwards whatever administration brought y'all to all the places y'all needed to survive inwards DC.
Andrew had to trace me away from these hanging chairs... Like a rocking chair past times 10x better!
Did I scream the view?!
After nosotros dropped our bags, nosotros were off the the Warner Theatre to encounter John Mulaney! The house was beautiful within as well as nosotros had a cracking fourth dimension at the show. It was my root fourth dimension seeing a stand upward up present as well as they are hence much meliorate inwards existent life. I couldn't halt smiling. We also managed to snag some killer seats (like front end front row) as well as that was an every bit cool experience.
SATURDAY
On Sat nosotros were welcomed alongside some beautiful weather. Our final trip to DC was met alongside lots of clouds as well as snowfall hence seeing the Sun this fourth dimension some truly made a difference.
One of the things I wanted to create final trip but didn't larn to was to larn to the go on of the Washington Monument. I wanted to climb to the go on (I conduct maintain this bucket listing postulate to climb to the go on of famous monuments) but at that spot was entirely an selection to conduct maintain the elevator. And that's what nosotros did.
We didn't conduct maintain tickets ahead of time, hence nosotros woke upward early, met our friends Dan as well as Kaylee as well as went correct when it opened to avoid a crazy long line. We ended upward waiting close fifteen minutes as well as and hence walked correct up. It was truly exciting to encounter from the top. You could encounter simply close all the surrounding states. That's how high upward nosotros were. There was also a lot of truly cool data close the edifice of the monument. Did y'all know that it's 2 unlike colors because at that spot was a suspension inwards structure due to lack of coin caused past times funding the Civil War? They picked dorsum upward the edifice procedure 25 years later they root started!
The views were breathtaking (just don't facial expression down) as well as would survive fifty-fifty to a greater extent than amazing inwards the jump when everything is brilliant as well as beautiful! I would definitely banking enterprise check it out adjacent fourth dimension you're inwards town.
After the monument nosotros walked over to the Archives as well as and hence nosotros were off to brunch. DC does this bottomless all-you-can-eat AND potable brunch affair as well as of course of didactics nosotros had to conduct maintain advantage. We ended upward finding a tabular array at Masa 14 and had ourselves a 4 hr brunch. I'm pretty certain nosotros ordered i of everything from the carte du jour as well as close vi pitchers of mimosas. #yolo kids.
After that whirlwind of a brunch, nosotros watched the UK of Britain as well as Northern Republic of Ireland game as well as took a prissy long nap to balance upward earlier dinner.
Last yr nosotros institute this amazing house called Firefly. It's a footling farm to tabular array eating house close Dupont Circle. To this twenty-four hr catamenia nosotros even hence speak close how amazing our dinner was -- it was that memorable -- hence of course of didactics nosotros had to uncovering our way dorsum this trip. And alas, the repast was simply as skillful as I remembered!
SUNDAY
On Lord's Day nosotros were met alongside pelting (boooo) as well as made our way to Busboys as well as Poets for brunch. Brunch. was. ahh-mazing. The house was such a cool spot. Like a library/restaurant/coffee store that I evidently can't explain, but I promise y'all simply larn it haha.
After brunch nosotros had fourth dimension to kill as well as went to the international spy museum. My telephone was pretty much dying hence I wasn't able to conduct maintain a lot of photos but it was a skillful time. Only regret was non taking the selection of the "operation spy" tour. It's similar a interactive tour where y'all truly pretend your a spy as well as conduct maintain an adventure. I personally am convinced that it's a surreptitious recruiting way for spies but that's simply me...
After that nosotros had a few to a greater extent than hours earlier our prepare ride abode as well as nosotros went to dinner at Bluejacket Brewery close the water. The nutrient was 10x meliorate than anything you'd ever await as well as it was similar a novel historic catamenia brewery (aka cool ambiance). If you're at that spot larn the sweetness murphy gnocchi! Heaven inwards my mouth. All as well as all it was a cracking ending to the weekend.
Then it was dorsum to NYC as well as that was my weekend! Hope y'all enjoyed. I'll survive dorsum adjacent calendar week alongside my trip to Hilton Head.
