This summer in Washington, D.C. unfolded like a sunlit afternoon, filled with warm streets, unexpected conversations, and quiet corners that felt timeless. Between the bustle and the beauty, the city carried a charm that made even the smallest moments feel unforgettable. And so, from these days gathered like postcards, I’ve kept a few reflections, things to do, places to linger, and little tips to make the city your own.

Long Weekend Trips from DC

Where to Shop
Georgetown – The two main streets are M Street and Wisconsin, and many shops right off
Tyson’s Corner, VA – The silver line takes to directly to the mall
Eats/Coffee
Tatte – There are many locations all around the DMV area, but Georgetown is my favorite
La Bonne Vache – Tucked just off the main streets of Georgetown, this gem is a delicate French restaurant that feels like a quiet escape.
Billy Hicks — My Sunday routine often meant settling in at the bar with a BLT from Billy Hicks, headphones on, and my favorite podcasts carrying me through the afternoon.
