Washington D.C. – The Courtney Diaries

Postcards from // An Afternoon in DC

April 8, 2015

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.

Do you think that if I become president, I’ll get a monument dedicated in my honor?

Saturday morning Grace and I woke up bright and early with one thing on our minds–brunch. That’s right, brunch two days in a row! We made our way over to Eastern Market where we browsed along the stalls before meeting up with one of my friends from Wake who was also interning in D.C.

Museums might just be the answer to happiness (especially if you’re an Art History nerd)

August 12, 2014

Two weeks ago I flew into a city that I haven’t stepped foot in for about eight years–Washington D.C. I was there for the weekend to visit one of my oldest friends, Grace, who I went to middle school with (the last time is was in D.C. was on a school trip with her in 7th grade!). My descent into Reagan International Airport was quite scenic; we flew past the mall and all of the different monuments that the city is famous for. After landing I grabbed a taxi and was surprised to find that we had to pass the Capitol to get to Grace’s apartment, which was in the NoMa district.
