I spent the last few days of spring break a few weeks ago at my friend Hana’s house, who lives just outside of Washington DC. With a little nudging (i.e. continuous bugging), Hana agreed to take me downtown for the afternoon so that I could once again walk around one of my favorite cities. We were only in DC for a few hours and during most of our visit it rained cats and dogs. But even rain can’t cover the beauty of our nation’s capital!
So much sushi was eaten that weekend and I’m not one to complain about that.
We spent over two hours walking around the Holocaust Museum, which I would highly recommend if you are ever in D.C. Although it is not for young children, the museum is highly informative and I’ll admit that I cried multiple times through the main exhibition. I believe in the old saying that we need to learn from our past and the Holocaust Museum is such a place to do so.
Our next stop was walking along the mall while the rain fell around us.
Posing in front of the White House is probably the most touristy thing that you can do in D.C. but I’ve never done it before and couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by.
Street art we found while getting lost looking for where we parked the car.
I finally got to try pho for the first time! I still have no idea how to actually pronounce it but the soup was absolutely delicious, especially with the fried tofu.
The ride back to Wake was about 5 hours but at least the views the entire drive were beautiful like this. So it made being cooped up in the car for most of the day much more enjoyable, as did Hana’s music playlist.
