I promised several posts for this trip recap because we crammed as much as we could into our short trip (my foot felt the affects of such and decided to get hurt midway through - it's finally almost back to normal). Our third day in the district was no slouch itself. We had our routine stop at Bayou Bakery and then we caught a bus to Georgetown. One of mom's requests was to go to Georgetown Cupcake, a bakery made famous by the TLC show, DC Cupcake. We got there about twenty minutes before it opened and managed to get a pretty good spot in line (yes, it's famous now and it has lines just to get in). Mom and I both had the cherry blossom cupcake. Let me just say it...it was AMAZING! I've never had cream cheese frosting that was that good before. Yum! We walked around Georgetown and along the canal before taking the metro towards the White House.
We saw the White House and Lafayette Square and then we ate at Potbelly's for a quick lunch. We were blessed with amazing weather for a second day in a row.
After lunch, we went and toured the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. I was very excited to get to tour this venue. And the views from the terrace at the Kennedy Center were breath taking. I only wish we had walked around more up there.
That night after dinner, I met up with one of my long lost IU best friends, Laura, who I haven't seen in a few years! She happened to live in the area where we stayed so I met up with her for drinks. Looking back, I am very sad that we didn't document it with a picture!
The next morning we visited the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Museum of American History before we retrieved our luggage and went to the airport that afternoon. As always, my time in Washington was not long enough. There is so much to do, see, eat, etc in that metro that I am certain I could never tire of visiting.
Until next time, DC.
