DC: The Typography of a City

My first trip to D.C.!

So Julia and I have been trying to get to D.C. for our anniversary for 5 years now, and for some reason or other, something always comes up. This year we had given up until we got some last-minute news on Thursday that we could go on Friday. With less than 24 hours notice, we planned a tour of our nations’ capital. Here are some photos from the weekend. (click on images for a slideshow)

The hot dog trucks were busy, and I was surprised that they all looked the same:

Beef Hot Dogs

Beef Polish Sausage

Chicken Hot Dog

Hot Dog Sign

Bomb Pop, Ice Cream Cone, and Pepsi Can

Guy With Dog

MAn Screaming in Microphone

Referee

Hockey Action

Friend: From a plaque in the Corcoran

Teenage Mutant Turtle turned cannibal:

Keith’s Doggy Bar is an ankle-high saloon in Georgetown that you’d miss if you blinked. I loved this! Too bad I couldn’t get a picture of a dog up in there…

My Fortune…

I’d like to go back soon. If you have some pictures of D.C. I should see or if you know of a place I should go next time I’m there, comment below.
