What to do... #WashingtonDC

Today proves that I found the perfect job. Not because of the work, but more so because of the likeminded people. One coworker is on the second leg of his Spain/Amsterdam vacation, one coworker flies out tomorrow to go to Switzerland for a couple weeks, another literally decided on a whim last friday that he's going to go to Germany this thursday, and today I fly out to Venice. Do I fit in or what?

As I work from home, which loosely translates to: START PACKING, you have a flight to catch this evening, I think about how going away is nice, but exploring your own city is just as good when there's no time, or money to get away. Every now and then I remind you that I am from Washington, DC. So there's your reminder. Born, raised, currently living here. I think it lives up to the title of the "Nations Capitol." We're a perfect mixture fast-paced and chill, and there is always something to do.

How about we start with exactly what I did when I recently had a guest that had never been to the city...

Rainy Daze

This past Saturday, the Washington Redskins (NFL) Cheerleaders held tryouts at FedEx Field. I had the honor of being a judge. A lot of people don't know, but I cheered for one measly year of my life. People look at my physique and assume I'm athletic and must have played a sport, but nope, the most I did was cheer (aside from karate for a few years when I was little). I think this one year is the reason I have such respect for cheerleaders and the sport. Now NFL cheering seems more like some type of dance to me and does not seem as intense or physical as say, high school or college cheering. However, I took my job as a judge quite seriously. 

The outfit I chose to wear to the judging was a last minute decision. I opted for a cute, fun and flirty look and was on my way out of the door for a mini photo shoot before heading to the Stadium. The rain had something else in mind... SO it turned into a few quick pics at home, lol.
