Let the Christmas holiday season begin!!!

On Thanksgiving week, some of the interns who live in Braddock and I decided to get together for a holiday meal. Each of us would bring a couple of dishes for the meal and we would all chip in for the pre-cooked turkey. I brought rice and also made yams with marshmellows. The turkey was great and at the end with all the dishes everyone brought we had rolls, stuffing, a green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese as well as some very tasty apple pie!

This was a night to give thanks for the opportunity to explore DC and learn so much in our stay in the nation’s capital. And at the end, we had enough food left over for each of us to take to our apartments and enjoy it during this long holiday weekend.

During that same week I found a link to the National Harbor’s website, where their annual Christmas tree lighting and fireworks show was been advertised. On the Friday after Thanksgiving, several artists were scheduled to perform at this free event. And after finding how to get to the Harbor using both the green line Metro and the bus, I made my way to a very windy and chilly evening. But it was all worth it! The musical performances, the Christmas tree light show and to finish it off, the fireworks were really impressive.
And best of all once I got to the apartment, my Thanksgiving dinner leftovers were waiting for me.
