D.C.







Fifteen things I saw in Washington, D.C., that made me smile on the inside.



bow ties


panty hose


hipster puppets


small black children


small asian children


old men smoking pipes


Catwoman's supercool outfit


dancing in front of the Smithsonian


a lot of frantic interns clutching Starbucks


grown (rather old) men in polka-dot shorts


thirty-year-old men learning how to use Twitter


people who you can tell feel like they are lookin' good


the second after a picture is taken when everyone relaxes


tears of happiness with, "I made it, Mom!"s rippling across a ballroom


watching all the people slowly nod off in their business attire on the train after a long day

Oh, I love this list. I love that you were wide-eyed and paying attention. You noticed wonderful, wonderful things. I am so glad you had this opportunity. Next year it will be even better. Yes?

SUCH a wonderful opportunity! I had a grand time. I certainly hope this will happen next year! That would be fantastic. This trip alone was amazing. D.C. was made for me. :)

Ooh, that sounds awesome. I laughed about "that second after a picture is taken when everyone relaxes". I love that moment! :)

I know it. It's like they all settle back into being themselves again.
