This week is all about D.C. We visited a few monuments, witnessed the Occupy D.C. protest, had dinner with some friends, and then per our tradition – we made sure to visit the zoo. We try to do that in every city we travel to because we’re dorks. As as per the usual, I have a truly ridiculous amount of photos. My apologies.
Architecture/Monuments:
At Union Station, it’s surprisingly lovely:

Wildlife/Zoo:




This was a very casual elephant.

Friends, scenery, and other stuff:



Moscato zabaione, pink grapefruit and quince sorbet, and tiramisu with friends

Shar, Raf, and Ren – such lovely and chill people to hang with.


Keith also likes to take pictures.

And, in fact, this was his idea – I just copied.

This bench was shot by Keith, I just edited. He likes color picture more, but I think this edited more interesting in black and white. To-may-to, to-mah-to.

And this little girl was having a BALL running through the sprayers at the zoo.
