A Reason Why I Love DC

Miss America is why! This is my second entry on reasons why I love DC and its as patriotic as it can get (so far)! Last night I went to an event to benefit the Miss District of Columbia Foundation and the Miss America Organization. Both foundations help woman achieve their goals by offering amazing scholarships.

I arrived very early only because you never know how the Metro will be. But, I was able to see everything. The setting up (yes...I was that early), the guests start to come in, the entrance of the Misses, and the entrance of Miss America herself! It was superb! Check out the photos:

Miss Virginia and Miss DC

Miss America (She is only 17)!

Miss Oregon

Me with Miss America! She is only 17 and I told her I was 17 as well, so we hit it off! I could only talk to her for less than minute, but in that minute I could tell she loves where she is and would want every young woman to pursue it!

A Reason Why I Love DC

Today I went to Tysons Galleria to pick up some Godiva chocolates, Calvin Klein underwear, and the newest Capitol File issue (unique combo, I know!). While leaving I saw this:

I took this on my phone. It is three government black Escalades. Getting out of the cars were Special Agents. I don't know who was the special someone being guarded. I just love the fact, though, that you can be at the mall one moment and then Special Agents roll in. 

I love DC.
