Wanderlusting

I have been itching to get to D.C. for about 6 months now, so when it looked like I might not pass my Spanish classes, I told myself that if I worked hard and did pass, I could take myself on a trip. Well, I booked my tickets today and I am so excited!! I will be going out to see one of my oldest friends who moved to NYC over the summer, spending a few days there, then we two are going to take the fun bus down to D.C.for a few days.

I know I am a nerd, but I can't wait to see this:

and this will be going on when we are there:

As far as NYC goes, I have never been as an adult. I went with my dad when I was in high school and had a great time, it is one trip I will always remember fondly because it was just he and I, walking around the city in February freezing our nee-nees off, seeing a bunch of Broadway plays (4 to be exact), visiting tourists spots, and spending time together.

I am looking forward to hitting a couple museums I didn't get enough of on my first trip, and seeing the city in the spring, as well as spending time getting to know what my friend is like as a New York City woman! If anyone has suggestions of things 'off the beaten path" that I should check out, I would be more than pleased to accept them- for both NYC and DC as well.  I hear there are some excellent vegan places in those areas, so I will have to make my way to those as well and write up a little something, although I am not sure I can spend the cash for the chef's tasting menu at PURE like I would like to :(

April cannot come soon enough.
