Adventures in Wonderland (aka DC)

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat
How I wonder what you’re at!
Up above the world you fly
Like a tea-tray in the sky.

I realized that I have neglected to include the teensy-weensy, itty-bitty detail that I have moved to DC!

How could this be, you might wonder? Probably because I've been so busy running around like a chicken with its head...well you know. Needless to say, I have settled into my life as a DC-er quite nicely, finding (two!) jobs, and lots-o-friends. I always thought I would never move here, or become a city girl (and I still don't think anyone really considers me a city girl, even though I commute into DC, have memorized parts of the bus and metro systems, and was once even asked for directions to Metro Center), but I find that I like being able to see the National Monuments as I go to work each morning. Its little details like that that make you realize you live in a city unlike any other.

So here are a few highlights of my sojourn in DC:

Made friends with a red panda at the National Zoo -


Witnessed the Battle of Cedar Creek -


And marveled at a cloud in the Corcoran Gallery of Art -



Here's hoping for many more exciting episodes of Lilly's Adventures in DC Wonderland!
