This year was an exciting Christmas as my family and I celebrated a little differently that usual --- instead of preparing a huge feast of traditional food with my Dad's side of the family - my twin brother flew to California to be with his girlfriend for a few weeks, and my parents drove to my place in DC.

I showed them all of the fun places I've been exploring the past few months including local parks, restaurants, a ride on the metro, and of course the famous DC national monuments.
