This is my second trip to DC in just a couple months. Pretty odd since I’ve never visited here prior, but fun. This week I am going to share with y’all (all 3 of my blog followers) some interesting things I’ve learned:
(1) It is cherry blossom time in DC. What does that mean, you ask? It means that people flock to DC to see the beautiful trees in full bloom. The trees were originally a gift from China back in the early 1900s. Most importantly, my cab driver stated, “the blooms make people happy-and DC is ranked as the #1 most unhappy city”. Why I asked- he simply stated because “we listen to politics all day.” That is an enlightening statement from a cab driver at 7am.
(2) I fit in quite well wearing tennis shoes to work. For those that do not know, my foot is broken. I use to wear a big black boot, but thankfully, the doc outfitted my tennis shoe insert to do the same thing-not bend the toe-bed. So now, I get to wear my new sneakers around the office. Here in DC, its pretty much protocol for girls to wear a blue button down, black skirt, ID badge, and tennis shoes. Oh and the ID badge must be on some fancy chain so it can double as a necklace.
(3) This weekend I’m taking the train to NYC to visit Lara. This will be my first time on a real train. I feel like such a city girl when I tell people I’m taking the train to NYC- if only they knew that I don’t even know where the train station is. I hope someone will notice that I’m a foreigner and help me- maybe my pink Vera Bradley bag or happy expression on my face will be a dead giveaway. Naaaaaa, they’ll check out my skirt and sneaker combo and think I’m a local.
