WASHINGTON DC CITY GUIDE

March 3, 2020

WASHINGTON DC CITY GUIDE

I’ve been hibernating for two months… Well, it feels that way anyway! I was itching to get out of Dallas for any weekend trip, and the new opening of the Thompson Washington DC was a perfect opportunity to getaway. Our girls weekend wasn’t too crazy… I think we went to bed before midnight each night. That’s when you know you’re getting older, ha. However, we did eat some amazing food and see some really fun stuff!

If you know me or have followed me for a bit then you know I’m a foodie so most of my trips revolve around food. We only had 48 hours to eat our way through Washington DC, but we made progress. Never underestimate my ability to visit as many restaurants as possible in one city… I definitely don’t miss a meal. Although this week I’ll be doing a lot of intermittent fasting!

Also, it had been so long I couldn’t remember when I visited Washington DC as a kid. I remember visiting the White House and the national monuments so I wasn’t really that interested in doing it again. We thought about going to see all the monuments in the middle of the night because it’s supposed to be way cooler. However, it was pretty darn cold so we nixed that idea, haha.

WHERE TO STAY

I’ve always been a huge fan of Thompson Hotels. Their vibe and aesthetic always makes me feel right at home because it’s very similar to my own taste. The Thompson Washington DC just opened it’s doors in January 2020, and I have to say it doesn’t disappoint! I absolutely loved the decor which gives nod to the nautical theme with subtle hues of blue and little details. Since it’s located in the Navy Yards it makes sense it would have a bit of a ship theme. Honestly, I really really liked that it was located outside of Downtown DC because it’s on the water. Much quieter and a really up-and-coming area!

I think I’ll definitely go back to Washington DC at some point. Maybe when I have kids (cross your fingers) or I’d absolutely love to visit in the spring when all the cherry blossoms are in bloom!

Meet Sir Charlie Fitz!! 🐶 Aka...Charlie. I coul Meet Sir Charlie Fitz!! 🐶 Aka...Charlie. I could NOT decide on a name, but I’ve had the name Charlie picked out for my next dog for about 7 years. However, when I adopted Cooper there was another dog named Fitz and I loved it too. Also, I’ve always trained my dogs with “yes, sir” and “no, sir”... Lastly, Charlie is an English Cream Golden Retriever and was was the first born so it’s basically the perfect name! Follow the adventures of @sircharliefitz for all the cute dog pics! 

P.S. Cooper is still very unsure about this decision. I know they’ll be best friends...eventually!
GIVEAWAY 🖤 Getting ready is a little different GIVEAWAY 🖤 Getting ready is a little different now with the new pup... Since I'm chasing him around  I've gotta get dressed quick, and more importantly I need to be comfortable. That's why I love the @jockey RealFit bra. It fits like a true bra, but is extremely comfortable and offers unique cup sizing for those of us who are in between cup sizes. I never feel like I'm really wearing a bra!
