As part of my pseudo-spring break last week, my friend Ambrey and I hit Georgetown for a quick jaunt! We walked the adorable streets, snagged a cupcake, and explored Dumbarton Oaks Gardens with our cameras. Ambrey is such a sweet friend, so encouraging and kind, and I had a blast playing around behind the lens for the day! Below are some of my favorite snaps from the day, and the gardens are a new must-see on my Georgetown quick list. If you’re ever there for the day, my recommendations include:

Mr. Smith’s of Georgetown – they have a bottomless mimosa brunch on the weekend, and the eggs Idaho are out of this world

Kafe Leopold – great outdoor dining (it was too cold for us this time!)

Georgetown Cupcake – not overrated at all, perfect icing to cake ratio

Shopping on M Street & Wisconsin Avenue – a plethora of retail options

Walk the C&O Canal Towpath – very scenic when the water is high

Dumbarton Oaks Gardens – bonus: a great place to sneak some cherry blossoms without the crowds!
