DC WAS JOYFUL!!!!!!!!! ❤️✨

I just wrapped up an unforgettable few days in Washington, DC with @visitwashingtondc, and wow, this city truly gave me so many reasons to smile.

From taking a pedal boat around the Tidal Basin with @adventuresunbound.dc and visiting the Lincoln Memorial, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, to visiting the MLK Memorial, DC gave me so many moments to pause, reflect and take in the city.

One of my favorite experiences was @museumofbible, where I learned about the Dead Sea Scrolls, explored different areas of biblical history, and even received a card with my Hebrew name. Being able to connect with my faith in such a unique way was truly special.

I also toured @nmaahc with @fortheloveofdcarts_sasha, where the Emmett Till exhibit was especially powerful. I learned more about African American history and resilience before enjoying a meal at Sweet Home Café—and that pecan pie was AMAZING! 🥧

And of course, the FOOD! 🍴 @oribudc introduced me to a delicious fusion of Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine, including Wagyu beef fried rice and dumplings. @cutdc had incredible steaks and a sweet corn pasta that was out of this world, while @rosasdinerdc served chicken and waffles with pineapple butter that was TO DIE FOR! I also enjoyed @donisima_dc, @eltamarindodc, @moonrabbitdc by @chefkevintien, and locally made ice cream from @the_creamery_at_union_market.

Meeting Mrs. Ali, who is over 90, at @benseverything and hearing her wisdom was another moment I’ll never forget. I also learned more about the history of Black businesses along U Street through @theblackbroadway by @brianaindc.

🏨 My stay at @grandhyattdc was the perfect home base—beautiful, centrally located downtown and connected directly to the Metro, making it easy to explore the city.

DC, thank you for showing me so much JOY! ❤️ From the history and culture to the people and food, this trip was one I won’t forget.

I can’t wait to share the full adventure!
