DC With Tourist's Eyes

Since I've returned from my road trip adventure, the things that used to annoy me about DC haven't been annoying me. The Metro. The crowds. The delays. I'm finding myself to be much more mellow with regard to it all. I guess that's what travel will do for you.

I've also found myself with a newfound appreciation for DC's beauty and tenor. It's a vibrant, buzzing place that I missed more than I realized when I was on the road. This afternoon I decided to soak in the unseasonably warm 50 degree weather and wander DC's woody Mt. Pleasant, Columbia Heights, and Woodley Park neighborhoods.

These pictures are from that stroll.
