Can't Wait for Sat

I met a friend of mine at my last job who had transferred from the west coast. When I found out she was interested in art I was so excited because none of my friends are interested in it like I am.  I suggested taking her downtown to D.C. to visit some of the art galleries and I realized that I totally take living 20 mins from D.C. for granted.  Growing up as a kid, many of us in the Northern VA area visit DC for the museums and such for school, and then when we got older only went there for the bars.  I totally forgot how much culture there is there.  Now we go down every couple of weeks, and I fall in love with D.C. all over again. She has dubbed them our "gallery crawls" and we have so much fun together, she is like my west coast counter part, we have more in common than any other person I've ever met, I'm so glad she moved here!

This weekend we are going to the National Gallery, the Corcoran and then dinner at this great place called Teaism, then we'll head over to Tangy Sweet, the best ice cream ever! For anyone who is familiar with Pinkberry, its very similar.  The bonus is that my long time friend (since I was 5!) is coming with us, so I'm super excited to spend time with my 2 favorite girls this weekend, haven't seen them for a few weeks.

Then in a few more weeks, we're going to Crafty Bastards! I always say I'm going to try and sign up for it every year, but whenever it comes around, I never feel like I would have the stock to do it. But I go every year and always find great stuff.
