The Wonders at Home

HAPPY MONDAY ALL, I am back from my mini vacation. I took a week off to rest before starting classes. So let’s jump right into what’s on Trouble’s Mind. I want to start with something pleasant. I had the pleasure of just cruising around DC this weekend and realized how much there is to see. There are the monuments and museums but even the architecture of the building in that area are just amazing. I had a good time and realized that I live so close and really don’t take advantage of all the things to do and see in D.C. . Just like for most people in our area when you say harbor most people will automatically assume you are speaking of the inner harbor in Baltimore but I had the pleasure of visiting the National Harbor in Maryland on the out skirts of DC it has some of the best restaurants like McCormick & Schmicks, Grace’s Mandarin, and my favorite Cake love. There are also places to shop like the Fossil Store, Harley Davidson, The Life is Good Store and the America! store. I liked the America! Store had all the good America apparel as well as white house doodads and trinkets. Not to mention they have a Segway retailer so you can buy, lease, or rent a Segway. I really want t ride on of those so got to put that on my to do list. It is really beautiful with the sculptures and paintings and they also moved a sculpture from DC to the national Harbor. The man in the ground, 1 of my travel partners this weekend described it best “Looks like titan coming out of the ground”. It is always nice to travel and see different things but it’s even better to find wonderful things right at home. O and just a reminder the Cherry Blossoms are blooming. The peak dates are April 1st –April 11th this year so if you get a chance go and visit they are truly gorgeous.
