Beautiful fall colors in DC

Okay, you can’t hold me to this when in 3 months I write that “DC is NOT for me”. LOL But right now I am diggin’ DC alot.

The fall is here and its filled with the sky with bright blue and the occasional fluffy cloud, the leaves are changing red, orange and gold. The city isn’t tall like NYC and you can walk down quaint tree-lined brick sidewalks with old row houses on your way to work. It just makes me happy walking into work.

I like that it is the size city that I like. Don’t get me wrong, I loved living in NYC, but a little bit smaller city is more to my liking. Seattle was a great sized city, fabulous neighborhoods, really a great place, if it just wasn’t so damn gray. (However, I will always maintain that when its sunny in Seattle, its flat out fabulous.) DC is like Seattle, not too big, great neighborhoods, but it also has alot of FREE museums and monuments and way more sunny weather.

This weekend is my birthday, and Tammy is sticking around, and David & Jody are coming into town to help with the celebration. The ultimate present is that they are all going to help me finalize the apartment, at least as final as it can get til I get some furniture in here. And of course Tammy has already done an amazing job here. She flat out amazed me when I walked into the apartment after work last night and could see a large part of the livingroom floor I had never seen before. Woohoo!!!

With the apartment in order, I’m hoping to start exploring everything the city has to offer, and catch up on everything Tammy saw this week while I was working. Cross your fingers the love affair with the city lasts for more than 2 weeks. =)
