Oak Hill Cemetery and The Shrine

It was such an unseasonably warm day last week so I took some personal photography time to explore some DC gems I've always wanted to see!

First up was the Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown.  This place is so old and so huge- it was interesting to see the range in dates of the people memorialized there and the calm and serene space right in the middle of the city.

Next came the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception- a huge and beautiful cathedral near Catholic University.  It is extremely massive and the mosaic work on the inside is absolutely beautiful!

Lastly I drove through the United States Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery- one of the country’s oldest national cemeteries.  

Happy New Year!!

It was a wonderful end to 2017 and beginning of 2018!  We started by checking in at the Ritz in Georgetown and relaxing in their cozy Living Room which was perfect given the below normal temperatures!  

We headed to my friend Mark's house where we had a private chef make us a delicious dinner and we rung in the New Year with dancing and a lot of wine! 

We started off the New Year at brunch at Blue Duck Tavern- yum!
