Mom and I went to the top of the Empire State Building (102nd floor!) on Saturday morning. As you can well imagine, I took A LOT of photos. This is one of my favorites. So far…

DC was very, very foggy on Monday morning. You couldn’t see a thing, including the Capitol dome. This is from the terrace of my office building, where on a normal day, the Capitol is more than visible.

It was a dreary, foggy morning in DC. I decided to brave the weather and check out the city in the foggy haze.

I’m not afraid to admit I’m a wee bit obsessed with the Multiverse sculpture at the National Gallery of Art. Today was the first time I’ve taken time to enjoy it from a different angle, however.

I have a thing for Metro stations. Especially since I don’t spend a lot of time in them. They’re novel to me now.

This morning’s commute was another of the snowy variety. Totally could have been worse though.

The snow this morning is such that you can just barely see the Capitol from my office rooftop.

‎"It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm." – Barack Obama

The second inauguration of Barack Obama. It’s a great day! I watched it from my couch this year. It was fantastic to be part of the inauguration four years ago, but I decided to watch from home this time.

I don’t often find myself in Metro stations, but when I do, I can’t help but be intrigued by the architecture.

After more than 11 years living in the DC area, it’s not often I can say I’ve photographed a place for the first time. I went on a short photowalk along the Mount Vernon Trail this morning and snapped some photos of the Potomac River bridges and the Lincoln Memorial.

It’s quite a lovely view.

I must have been a really good girl this year. My Aunt and Uncle bought me an iPad Mini and my Mom and Dad bought me a MacBook Pro. A very merry MacChristmas, indeed. :)

Thirteen days until NYC.  :)

This photo was taken from the East River Ferry.  In the rainy cold.  While the ferry was moving and I was hanging on precariously.  Fun times.  But, worth every single minute for the view and experience alone.

The Chrysler building is one of my very favorite buildings in NYC.  It’s a toss-up between it and the Flatiron.  I think this one comes out ahead, however. :)
