A few things happened this weekend. Some monumental (pathetic pun intended), some not.<\/p>\n

I kid. I love Washington D.C., I don’t go enough. The special trip down this past weekend was twofold: one, to be reunited with my best girlfriends, and two, to support one of them as a finalist in the Miss DC Pageant.<\/p>\n

I’ll have you know she was beautiful on stage. Confidence is an unstoppable force, my friends.<\/p>\n

I could write a thousand or so words on the two and half days. Smiles, laughter, tears, love<\/strong>\u2014you know, the things that come with having three\u00a0sisters\u2014<\/em>such amazing things. I could write about the amazing city, how I want to go back for a longer stay for a proper visit.

I could write about the food\u2014<\/strong>The Darlington House<\/a>, Kramerbooks Afterwords Cafe & Grill<\/a>, Cafe Tu-O-Tu<\/a>, Sprinkles<\/a>\u00a0(it’s a funny thing how life comes in full circle; it was one of my first few posts<\/a> back in the day), The Diner\u2014or how I fell in love<\/strong> with every nuance the city had to offer\u2014DuPont Circle, Georgetown, etc. Discussing the pageant<\/strong> would reach epic proportions (I also saw the stylish Aureta Thomallari<\/a> judge the finalists), the after party<\/strong> at Acacia Bistro<\/a> was spiced up by the arrival of several Marines<\/strong>. Apparently men in uniform are irresistible. They also don’t smile easily. Unless you know the right thing to say…<\/p>\n

But you know how the saying goes: a picture is worth a thousand words.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Michelle Obama is one of my idols, did you know?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Her Inaugural Ball gown – stunning. (At the National Museum of History.)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Beautiful pieces. Not pictured are her Jimmy Choos. I’m not a shoe person, that’s why. (I’m also easily distracted by shiny objects.)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Delicious dinner at Kramer’s. Sauteed kale, beans on baguette, sweet potatoes, risotto, quinoa. Must try the dessert next time.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Amazing salad from Cafe Tu-O-Tu in Georgetown (one of my favorite areas to date). Spinach avocado salad with walnuts, goat cheese, blue cheese drizzled in their special vinaigrette.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sprinkles Cupcakes in Georgetown. The Georgetown Cupcakes line was too long, that’ll be reserved for the next trip back. Guess what I had! … too late, I’ll tell you. Carrot cupcake. Delush.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Don’t you boys ever smile? (And don’t my friends look beautiful?! If you don’t know which is me – which I can’t blame you for; I’m not one for outfit snapshots – I’m the one in the coral bandage dress. Hi! The irony of it all; I’m wearing color, which I rarely ever do…)<\/p><\/div>\n
