We enjoyed a socially distanced, cloudy day picnic with one of B’s friends/co-workers today out on the Mall. We haven’t really been out to do much yet, so getting to see someone out in the wild was wonderful and weird all at once. Kind of like my hair, which I felt deserved to get documented.
Also – picnics are so easy when you can just pick up tacos and pitchers of margaritas to go!
Totally normal attire for a nice spring walk around the National Mall.
(Taken at the DC War Memorial, where we got married!)
WWII Memorial with the Lincoln Memorial in the background on a beautiful day in the District.
Another mediocre rush hour view.
The drive-by snaps on my commute just never get old to me.
It’s easier to be patient with standstill traffic when I have views like this.
Foggy morning commute.
My job is an absolute shit show, but I will forever feel grateful for my view.
Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture (with the Washington Monument in the background)
A little facelift for the Jefferson.
Rainbow commute home.
I’ve loved this little tiled mosaic in Navy Yard for years. I finally did some research and figured out this memorial is for someone named Diamond Teague, a teenager who made a big difference working for the Earth Conservation Corps in the southeast neighborhood before being murdered in front of his house at only 19 years old. His story is tragic and remarkable, and it gives me even more appreciation for the area and for him. And now I know what this memorial is for, so I can remember him every time I pass it.
