DC Summer Out & About

My new DC eateries have me excited for my DC summer. They are places to see and be seen. They are also places that give me a sense of being in a thriving urban environment. Unique from the New York's and the LA's of the world, however just as urban-chic.

EATONVILLE: Large space, cool vibe, interesting murals, great story behind the place and southern food that makes me feel like I'm at Grandma Lizzy's for the summer in Charleston, SC.

Policy: Interesting space, posh look, AMAZING top floor with murals and chandeliers, and the food that matches the chic factor of the place (although pricey for the small portions).

The Park: City networking and partying at its finest. This place screams DC, with its suits for happy hour, and DC Black A-listers. I'm warming up to this spot, and I feel like I'm in a Black Hollywood film whenever I'm there.

I have more, but time doesn't permit at the moment. More DC spaces of interest coming up...

Up-and-coming...

It has been a few months since my last blog on travels, mostly because I've only been to Orlando (quasi-hometown) and NY for a 36 hour turn-around visit. HOWEVER :-) In February I am traveling to Miami and in March I'm headed to TRINIDAD!!! So all of this to say, stay tuned...I'm traveling again, and you're going to love where I'm headed.

Busy in DC

SO as of late, I've been uber-busy in DC. ( I understand that uber is reserved for teenagers and valley girls, but I'm somewhere in-between, the two, so leave me be!) DC is full of things to do in the Spring/Summer, and my interest is blooming (get it bloom...spring...). I've now started to partake, once again, in Salsa during the week. I plan to pick up on my karaoke next week, and then eventually, dare I say it, start jogging in Rock Creek Park. I know, it seems far fetched, and may even be too hard to believe. I guess you will just have to wait and see. My latest motions in DC have uncovered the following: EATONVILLE restaurant...I'm biased on this one, but it's good I promise. Lima Salsa Monday's...so much fun, so many people, the summer is looking promising. SILVERDOCS...their doc festival starts soon, and will have me taking in the cinematic arts. Bar Louie...been here a few times (Mardi Gras & Superbowl included) and it's the new NBA Playoff's...

2014...what a year!

First I'd like to say that it has been far too long since I've posted to this blog. I guess that's what happens when you're busy living life instead of just writing about it. I would like to say that this year took me beyond what I thought was possible. I did the normal trips to Orlando early on in the year to see family. Had a fun weekend getaway in Las Vegas. I also went to Long Island, NY this summer to see my cousin get married in the most beautiful affair. Lastly, I ventured to the west coast, to my beloved California, and spent some time in San Diego. But wait! That is not all. I had the pleasure and shear humbling joy of an opportunity to go to Dubai, U.A.E. and CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA!!! Yes, me. Little ole me went half way around the world to places that I'd only dreamed of visiting. I was able to participate in a desert safari, and view the sky scrapers of Dubai. I was able to stay at a resort right on the water in Cape Town, party on Long Street, and en...
