Living in DC: A Great Date: Museum Scavenger Hunt

“Date Number 2″ with my “mystery man” technically should have happened two Saturdays ago but as luck would have it, we found ourselves talking for hours on end (not uncommon) about many different topics, causing us to realize a day-long museum scavenger hunt was not possible.  This past Saturday, we made it a mission.

Restaurant Review: Sunday Brunch with Soul

One of the best things about Washington, D.C. are the endless number of restaurants to try.  However, not many are known for their brunch.  Most DCers tend to gravitate towards the brunch spots that are places to see and be seen and very rarely seek out new establishments. This past week, my girlfriend and I… Read More ›

Living in DC: 12 Days of Christmas #5: The National Christmas Tree in the Snow

After 24 hours of being snowed in, I suggested to my boyfriend that he and I go down to D.C. to see the National Christmas Tree – something I’ve never done before.  Surprisingly, he agreed on first plea. Despite not having snow pants, we were pretty well bundled up – snowboarding jackets, gloves, hats, scarves,  layers of clothing… Read More ›
