We are back! It has been the fastest and slowest 3 months (seriously AT THE SAME TIME) we have had in a long time. We took a break from posting, as life got crazy. Y’all know Christmas is its own version of crazy, but then Dustin’s task order ended in the middle of the longest government […]

Christmas in DC plus amazing weather.
I was watching the news the other day and apparently this year is going on record to be one of the wettest years in Washington D.C. Which is very depressing for us as that limits us going out and exploring. Our small studio apartment in NOMA is amazing until you are stuck in it for […]

DC Staycation in a Nutshell
To explain our DC staycation would take so many posts. To get it down to one post, this will be very picture heavy. I apologize in advance!! I think in total we all had over 1000 pictures combined. But when your close friends (Nikki, Justin & Emersyn) come for a week, bringing their adorable 2 […]

Saturdays in DC are amazing… However, in the summer it is insanely busy and hot. Since we both work during the week, the weekends are fo exploring. This particular weekend we walked the National Gallery of Art on the National Mall, walked to Capital Hill for some food, and decided to catch the last tour […]

Folklife Festival DC on the National Mall
We have decided that there is ALWAYS something happening on the National Mall in DC. From a rally, to a parade, to a festival, we can pretty much count on running into something to see. The Smithsonian Folklife Festival was no exception, as we were just walking to the metro station and ran into this […]

Washington DC Holocaust Memorial Museum
I have been waiting to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum since I arrived in Washington D.C. Though admission is free, getting tickets can be challenging. There are only so many tickets per day, and per time. When I saw some tickets were available on Saturday, I jumped on them. So far this has […]

Botanical Gardens DC, Pizza & Farmers Markets
The weekend finally arrived and all I had planned was to find some great produce at the farmers market. The Botanical Gardens DC (United States Botanic Garden) and stopping for pizza were an unexpected twist. I really wasn’t expecting to blog about the day, but it was too cool to not share. We knew we […]

Museum of the Bible, Food, and Our First Visitors
Our friends, Brittany & Joseph, came into town a few weeks ago and we had a blast doing some DC stuff with them. While we did quite a few things that weekend, from walking the National Mall to trying to go to Ford’s Theater (We only were able to tour the museum across the street, […]

Saturdays in DC: National Portrait Gallery and Coffee
Saturdays have turned into our exploration days in DC. We tend to start each one in our neighborhood: NoMa, just meandering while walking Kona. We always end up at the National Mall. We have really tried to spend these long walks getting used to the National Mall so when people visit us we seem super […]

DC, Spring, Museums Oh My
I feel like no matter how much we see in DC, we still have barely scratched the surface. I am so glad it is finally feeling warmer here, however, it seems to be warming up quicker than I would like. Soon it will be so hot that we will have to make sure our “adventures” […]
