DC Adventures

Sprinkles is better than DC Cupcakes! I said it! 

    Almost a month without an update! How did my faithful 3 readers survive? Don't worry pearls of my hear, I haven't forgotten you. I just like sleeping more than I like blogging.
   You'll see that I am making the most of my time here... with cupcakes! My first Saturday and inauguration day found me at a lovely little shop in Georgetown called Sprinkles. Which sells delicious cupcakes... cause that's a thing now?
   Not that I'm complaining. They have a s'mores cupcake that's a little bit life changing. I loved it. Don't let people drag you to DC cupcakes... it may be famous cause it's on TV, but Sprinkles is so much better. Trust me. I've done the taste test. Also, Georgetown is adorable. It's a like a cookie cutter town on a Christmas card! I absolutely love it.

I really want to go to a Senate or House hearing one of these days! 

   My favorite part of my first weeks here was arriving to work an hour before I actually have to start. I would walk around the mall and see all the memorials and statues. I particularly love the WWII memorial, but the big famous ones are also lovely. I have all sorts of poetic-y and patriotic feelings whenever I walk around the mall and see the symbols of my great and favorite country. Never forget, my 3 readers: I may have traveled a lot, but I always loved and missed the US the most.
   So far I have only been to two museums. Such a tragedy! I did make it to the National Gallery, where they have a marvelous collection of... well... everything. I have yet to go into the impressionists wing. I just know the moment I step into it, I will be there for the whole day. I love me some impressionists.
AAAAAAAAND I ALSO FOUND OUT THEY HAVE SOME ORIGINAL TURNERS SO I HAVE TO GO SEE THOSE PRONTO.
Turner is the best. Full stop. If you disagree, I am judging you a little bit.

Welcome, indeed! 

 
    It's been a great first month. Learning my new job and the true nuts and bolts of how the government functions, as well as meeting other nice and fun people, seeing such amazing sights, and just soaking it all in is what makes my polymathic heart flutter! I hope I get to stay in DC.
    And when you come to visit me, we will go to Sprinkles. NOT DC cupcakes. And also the Air and Space Museum, because this nerd loves her space. And since you love me, you love it too.
