last weekend in d.c.

This summer has been an amazing experience for me. I'm planning to spend my last week in D.C. wisely. This weekend was a blast! After the Monument tour, a group of us went to eat at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center. Soon afterwards we headed to the Pentagon. It was a huge site. I bought a couple of souveniors, and then we headed down the numerous corridors of the buildings spotting army men and marines.

Friday evening at the Kennedy Center was fun. Kekele was planning at one of the plazas. After the hour of live music, we all went on the terrace to enjoy the lovely view of the city. Honestly, I liked the terrace view better than the Monument view; although both were great. Afterwards we went to Ben's Chilli Bowl, a famous family owned restaurant, where many celebrities have been spotted such as Bill Cosby.



Saturday began with working on final papers and internet games at Ebenzer's coffee shop near Union Station. In 1908, a German immigrant built a idner at that corner. After decades of neglect, it was purchased by National Community Church. The vision was to restore the property back to its orginial purpose as a place where the local community could enjoy a cup of coffee in a comfortable coffeehouse. The environment is very laid back, and on the lower level, bands play on the weekends.



Later a friend and I ate at White Tiger and talked about family matters and personal experiences.

We ordered a feast, as I'm sure the waiters probably wondered how we were going to consume all the dishes. (leftovers are great) Afterwards a group of us headed for VA. 12 stops on the orange line later, we spent a night with blues and Thai food. Saturday was a fun day.

Sunday was my work and shopping day. Sarah and I spent our morning in Seattles Best Coffee in Borders (near metro center), and then I headed to Pentagon City for some fun shopping. Oh yeah...and I had my with dippin dots tasting, candy bar crunch to be specific. :) I'm finally back, and maybe movie time? We'll see. It's been a great weekend, and I can't wait to see what else is in store for my last week in dc. Happy DCing. :)
