A few photos from peak Cherry Blossom season in DC in which Charles and I came (that sounds kind of naughty), saw and decided to never come back again. At least never come back again on a Friday at 5:30pm. ^^ My love. <3 I have never seen the Tidal Basin in DC as packed as it was on this day. ...
Day Date at the Anacostia Arts Center, DC
After the success of our monthly dates last year, Charles and I decided to keep it going for like... forever. And in case you're wondering, we have three simple rules to abide by when it comes to our dates: 1) I can’t bring my “big & bulky” SLR camera along <- Charles’s rule 2) We ...
A Free Tour Of The U.S. Capitol Building
Hope you don't mind if I bounce around a little bit with my posts to keep things dynamic because I tend to get bored with doing things in chronological order. This means I'll have another Caribbean post ready for ya next week. As for today, we're going to keep it local and take it back to that one ...
Duccini’s // The Best Jumbo Slice Pizza In D.C.
The road to my heart begins with food, of which you can never go wrong when inviting me out for pizza... Jumbo slice pizza from Duccini's in the Adams Morgan area of D.C. to be exact. My ratchet twin, Kim, was back in town for the weekend by way of San Francisco and invited me out for a quick ...
Weekending | Barbecues & Besties
Left my SLR camera at home this past weekend... I tend to do that when I'm hanging out with my friends. It's alot more lowkey and keeps the vibes informal which is how I like it. My photos might not be as crispy but it's all good. A little blur never hurt nobody. But anyways, today's post is all ...
Sunday @ The Travel and Adventure Show in DC
Oh, the wonderful world of travel conventions... I had my first chance to experience such a thing this past Sunday at the Travel & Adventure Show in D.C. and it was an eye-opening experience in the most educational way. As you may recall, I made a to-do list for 2015 in January ...
Breakfast At Lincoln’s Waffle Shop DC
Looking to have breakfast with Abe Lincoln's ghost? I can't think of a better place to experience such a possibility than to grab some morning grub at Lincoln's Waffle Shop, located in the downtown area of D.C. near the Metro Center stop. ...
Art Watching At The Hirshhorn Museum
One of my favorite things about living in the Washington, D.C. area is that there are soooo many things to see and explore that are FREE. And free is pretty much my middle name these days. As such, I recently made a list of all the free places I want to check out locally this year and near the top ...
Welcome To The Capitol Jungle… Ahem, U.S. Botanic Garden
If you follow me on Instagram (@setarrra), then you may have peeped Charles and I in major babysitting mode one particular weekend this past holiday season. My little sister, Gigi, came over to hang except that she's not so little anymore. She's officially in kindergarten, much taller and ...
Dear Dr. King
Dear Dr. King: I wonder... I wonder what your thoughts would be on the current state of racial relations in US (and heck, the world) if you were still alive right now. Would you be happy or sad, angry or proud? Despite feeling frustrated and helpless at times, I just wanted you to know that I have ...
Ramen Night @ Chaplin DC
^^ From Left to Right: Christina, Kim and some girl named Setarra ;) Once upon a time when I used to live in NYC, I had my first slurp of ramen at Totto Ramen in Hell's Kitchen and needless to say, my taste buds fell in love. Since moving back down to the D.C. area, I hadn't yet found time to ...
Celebrating 2 Months & 7 Years At Ping Pong Dim Sum in DC
As some of you may or may not know, prior to getting married this past July, Charles and I had been together for 7 years... And during those 7 years, we never once celebrated an anniversary because we forgot to make note of the day and month that we started dating. So you can imagine how ...
