I've visited DC several times recently, thanks to a wonderful niece and good friend who both live there, plus the city’s vibrant energy. On this trip, I was hoping to catch my niece and the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, she was away, but JB was home, and we caught up over drinks and dinner in Chinatown. With his tips in hand, I let my curiosity guide me through the National Mall and Tidal Basin, where my feet rarely fail to lead me to something extraordinary.
