Back in LA....

We got back to LA on Thursday night, went to work yesterday even haha....anyway, for brunch this morning, we tried a place on 3rd street called "Mira'le" which we found through yelp.

I got an egg scramble with italian sausage, bacon, parsley, and scallions, and I must say it was really good. Good place for breakfast and they seem to have some interesting lunch items as well. Unfortunately, they're not open for dinner.

Bureau of Engraving/Printing

The office of our senator scheduled us for a tour here yesterday, but it was Veteran's Day, what brilliant minds.....so we could have moved it to today but we didn't have the time. So we stopped by just for a quick look....

Potbelly Sandwich Works

I didn't quite get to take a picture of this place but they have a few of these in DC so if you ever visit, I definitely recommend it....its like a Subway in that you have sandwiches made but its better quality meat and bread for just as cheap, actually a little cheaper even....

Smithsonian

We spent a few hours at a couple of the museums which was pretty cool....

The American History museum had cool stuff from the various presidents, a special exhibit for Lincoln, and a look at the different wars America has gone through...

Then we went to the Natural History musum.

The pictures here are from the Natural History museum but the American History museum was much more interesting to me haha....

White House

After requesting one from Boxer and Feinstein, we were lucky enough to get a tour of the White House. We didn't get to see everything of course, but we did get to see many of the different rooms open to guests of the White House. The coolest part was the various paintings of past presidents.

Georgia Brown's

An upscale southern restaurant in DC, just behind the White House. In fact, according to this article, the Obamas ate here....

I typically don't order fried chicken when I go to a restaurant, but I thought I'd give it a try and I was so pleased with my meal! The restaurant turns basic food into something really good....the mac n cheese was unique as well.....

Forgot about the Kabobs

So all over New York are these street carts where they grill Chicken Kabobs, add some hot sauce, and throw it in a hot dog bun.....its $4-5 for one of these and its pretty good, very convenient too....just gotta make sure it's cooked haha

Statue of Liberty

Took a short trip to the Statue of Liberty this morning....we also purchased "Crown" tickets months in advance to be able to climb to the top of the crown from which I got pretty good pictures of the tablet and the insides of the statue. It was a crazy climb though and we went through two security checks....I couldn't bring my cell phone so ill add "crown" pictures when I get home....
