I was born and raised in the area and have learned that DC doesn't disappoint those with a spirit of wonder and adventure. It's so easy to find something new to do and interesting to explore. I just can't help but fall deeper and deeper in love with this place with more time.

Saturdays seem like they were made to be spent at the market, so that's how a dear friend and I passed our morning at District Flea, a collaboration between local vendors and the folks behind Brooklyn Flea. We meandered around--camera in hand--and appreciated the details of the antiques, chatted with a bunch of vendors, and paused on multiple occasions to share small bites* at communal picnic tables.

*Please do me (and yourself) a favor: check out Ravioli Revolution. I thank them on behalf of the District for relocating from New York because their ravioli? They're like pieces of heaven bursting in your mouth. And the team is so down-to-earth and friendly to boot!
