This basilica is amazingly beautiful. From the moment you enter to the time you leave, you stand there with your jaw to the floor. Which also makes it so hard to photograph. I don’t think one single image could really do this place any justice. You really have to experience it for yourself.
If you’ve never been, you’ve got to go. It’s breath-taking. Definietly a huge highlight of our entire European adventure.
The crazy part is that it’s not even complete! It’s scheduled to be done in 2027, so my girlfriends and I made pact to return to visit when it’s done.
Some pretty awesome stairs in front of the Oprah Winfrey theater in the National Museum of African American History and Culture. I can’t wait for the crowds to die down a bit so I can go back and REALLY explore this museum.
Over the weekend I had the incredible privilege of visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture before it has even opened!!! It opens this weekend so if you get the chance to go, you should totally do it! Start from the very bottom and go up. The bottom floor is about slavery and as you work your way up, the floors move through time all the way to modern day African Americans. It’s so fascinating to see the progression through various objects and stories. Believe me, you’ll love it!
How can anyone get sick of this place? No matter how many times I go, it’s still just as exciting and beautiful as the first time.
Last week my friend Erin texted me and said that she was going to be in town. She was traveling to DC for a meeting near the White House but had a few hours to kill before it actually started. So I suggested we grab a few drinks at the POV lounge in the W hotel. Great views and great drinks, what could be better for some girl friends to catch up? After some laughs and cocktails, we parted ways by this staircase thats tucked away in the corner of the hotel. I mean how cool is this spiral staircase? It’s like a slightly-tipsy photographer’s dream 🙂
