Coming Down to the Home Stretch...

It certainly doesn't feel like 2 whole weeks have passed since I wrote that last post, but alas, my summer in D.C. has dwindled down to its final week. As far as progress on my list goes, my biggest accomplishment has been finally venturing to the Newseum. As expected, this news junkie was not disappointed! It was definitely worth the $18 admission fee (with valid student ID).

While many of the goals on my list remain unfulfilled, here are a few activities that I've completed over the past 2 weeks in addition to the ones I had originally intended:

• Dined at Froggy Bottom
• Enjoyed a late dinner at Utopia Bar & Grill while soaking in the ambiance and listening to some phenomenal live jazz musicians!!!
• Dined at Jackey Cafe in Chinatown
• Nats vs. Cubs game (7/19/09)
• Went dancing at Lima and Lotus
• Dined at Capitol City Brewing Company
• Attended Michelle Malkin's book promotion event at the NPC
• Dined at Mayur Kabab House
• Attended a service at Reston Bible Church
• Dined at Lucia's Italian Ristorante in Herndon

Despite the way that it looks, I promise that my life doesn't entirely revolve around eating out, but it's so hard to resist when there are so many enticing options to choose from! Anyway, as far as this week goes, tonight's plan is to walk over to the Mall with friends to Screen on the Green where On The Waterfront will be playing. I'm pretty excited as I hear that it's quite a classic movie (not to mention the fact that it will be one more thing to mark off my list! :) Well, on that note, I guess it's time to get back to work. Have a wonderful week ya'll! :)
