Motions In The City

DC FINALLY had a beautiful weekend of never-ending sunshine, and I was way too ready to enjoy it. I put on the most flowy dress (spell check says that flowy isnt a word, but you get the meaning), and the cutest sandals and headed out to the harbors. I stopped first in Baltimore at the Inner-Harbor, which was packed with performers, families, couples and even left-over cheerleaders from a nearby competition. I ate with a friend at Hard Rock Cafe, then strolled along the strip of restaurants and shops. The weather was perfect, not too hot, and not too cold or breezy. We even had an opportunity to eat Italian Ice as we tried to walk off the pounds gained at lunch. The strip of stores do not offer enough to keep someone at the harbor for hours on end, so we decided to see about another location. We were going to go towards Georgetown or the SW waterfront, but then decided on the National Harbor. The Gaylord Hotel in all its grandeur is the staple of the harbor, however I was pleasantly sur...

My little cousin, and by little I mean 21, convinced me to escort her and her boyfriend to the zoo this past Sunday. First I need to mention that it was one of the most beautiful days in DC, it was the day after the Cherry Blossom Festival, not too hot, not too cold or windy, it was perfect. We arrived to the zoo with what I believe had to be about 50% of all of the children in the DMV area. The place was packed, and the kids were running, laughing, crying, complaining, begging parents, eating messily and just being kids. Our mission was simple. My cousin wanted to see the lions, tires and bears, her boyfriend was all about the reptiles, and I had to see the monkey's, koala and polar bears. Fortunately for us, we got to see the king of the jungle, as well as a tiger and cheetah...but honestly outdoors that was about it for us. The place was packed, but the animals must have been hibernating. The reptile house looked more like an amusement park opening with a long line...to see liza...
