Sometimes I take living so close to dc for granted. It’s been a while since I’ve gone, but last weekend we headed into the city and visited the botanic gardens. Of course, its not the best season, but the inside was still pretty cool. I fell in love with all the orchids. Sooo pretty. These guys must be good at what they do. My mom can barely keep one alive for a season, and these guys manage to take care of so many varieties of orchids..and they’re so pretty!!
We also did a short trip to the air and space, which was much more interesting compared to when I went as a kid.
Anyways, I’d still like to go into the city and see a bunch of museums. They’re right there! And I haven’t even seen them all. Plus, they make for a nice cheap date so you can splurge on dinner. We went to capital grille for dinner and yeah its a chain but it was aweeesome! We started with the calamari which could’ve been our meal cuz it was so big. And a big plus cuz there were lots of tentacles. I had a kona crusted steak while the bf got the filet mignion. We shared sides of mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. It all just melted in my mouth and I’m drooling just thinking about it… Worth every penny. Service and ambiance was just right. 
yum! I love the tentacles the most also.
What a fun date idea! The Botanic Gardens is one of my favorite places in DC. It’s so special.
