When you think of Washington DC, you usually think of government, politics and a serious city life. However if you live in the area, you know its much more than that. The United States capital is such a vibrant, walkable city that’s great for locals and tourists a like. Theres so much to do, eat, and see that autumn time in DC is a great place to be. Rhyming not intentional but natural. (I make myself laugh.)

With that said, here are some of my favorite places to view the changing of colors and season in Washington DC:

I thought of another story from Taiwan!

One morning my mom and I were walking through an university. I can’t think of the name now or how we ended up there but it was a beautiful campus and we stumbled upon a couple of graduates. They were standing in front of this beautiful building, all lined up in their caps and gowns waiting for their picture to be taken. So I stood there to watch the photographer in action. Isn’t that what everyone does? We like to watch a group of people get their picture taken? Or is that just me? Anyways, the photographer gets behind his camera, looks through the viewfinder and goes “Aaaaa…. Bbbbbb….” and all the college graduates go “Ccccccc…..”

HAHA I’d never heard that before and thought it was hilarious!
