Did you ever listen to Good Charlotte? You know, before they got huge and lost whatever it was that originally made them famous? Are they still playing? Who knows. But in high school, they were my band. So for this post, East Coast Anthem it is.
“Walking on the streets of D.C., on the East Coast, where I live…”
Okay, I was walking on the streets of D.C., but it’s not where I live. It’s where my friend Ben lives. This picture above is his home and it was huge and kind of awesome, even though you can’t tell from the picture of his front door and all the people standing in front of it. But it was nice.
I like these pictures of D.C. because it shows you how different all the homes were. They were all kinds of shapes and colors and they give the city a lot of character.
But the best part about where Ben lives in D.C. is that it’s close enough to walk to the White House. So we did:
We waved to Obama from the outside and pretended to take pictures for other tourists when they asked us to. Just kidding, we took pictures for them.
So that’s my first time back to D.C., y’all. I’m hoping to go back for the Cherry Blossom Festival in the spring. Holler to that. I hope you’ve enjoyed City Mitten: D.C. and next week we return to our regular programming with City Mitten: Restaurant Week. Hellz yeah.
Sayin whats your prooblleeemmm
I follow Joel Madden on Twitter.
Remember when we met them? Did we take pictures? I cannot remember…
thank goodness. I’m missing all the great restaurants you go to. If I had the dedication you do I might start my own online eating diary.
Omg, please don’t call this an “online eating diary” haha. It sounds like I’m counting calories or something and obviously, from all the pictures, I am NOT! :)
I follow both Madden’s on Twitter.
I started singing the song in my head right when I read that too.
I like the houses, they are pretty.
I like the non-food intermission posts now and then. :-) And, I can highly recommend the cherry blossom festival… it’s fabulously beautiful just to walk around the lagoon looking at the petals and the blue sky reflecting on the water. If you’re into “activities” instead of just “zen” then there are a billion little things to do during that time as well. Me, I’m not an “activities” person so much anymore. :-)
