I decided recently that with the big move creeping ever closer, it'd be worth my time to make an effort to see more of Virginia/DC/Maryland before leaving. There are a lot of places that I've wanted to see and things that I've wanted to do here, but never seemed to get around to it.
On April 17, I went with a friend up into DC. We went to Dupont Circle to wander around and look at some of the shops. While we didn't know about it, they were having a celebration for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day called Green In the Circle... and we had a great time listening to live music, and watching people scramble around trying to participate in a scavenger hunt. It's a very bohemian area and seems to be a bit of a mecca for the gay/lesbian community.
We originally went down to Dupont Circle to see if we could go shopping for Mother's Day gifts, but what we realized is that there are a lot more restaurants down there than shopping. The shopping at Dupont is made up of coffee shops/bookstores, boutique/accessory stores, and a few higher end clothing stores. After doing a bit more research about Dupont, I learned that they have year-round farmers markets every Sunday morning, and it's also home to a lot of the Embassies in DC.
