First Fall Weekend in DC!

It is the first full fall weekend in Washington DC and there are so many great activities! So, nothing about real estate on the blog this week, instead I am going to suggest a few great activities for the weekend, such as:

Bike DC 2008

On Saturday morning I will be taking my bike down to Penn Ave for a great car-free bike ride around DC called Bike DC 2008. It is not too late to register, check it out at www.BikeDC.net.



National Book Festival 2008
After the bike ride we are heading down to the National Mall for the National Book Festival. An idea that First Lady Laura Bush brought about starting back in 2001. Learn more about the festival at www.loc.gov/bookfest.



Barracks Row Oktoberfest
After listening to a few authors we plan to head up the Hill to 8th Street SE (the street where out office is located) at Eastern Market and visit the Barracks Row Oktoberfest. Learn more about it at www.barracksrow.org/Ocktoberfest08.htm. While you are down there, be sure to check out my friend Leah's kitchen store "Hill's Kitchen" on the 700 block of D Street SE, learn more here: www.hillskitchen.com.



Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Festival
On Sunday, we plan to head up to the Marie Reed Learning Center at 18th and Wyoming Streets NW for the Washington City Paper's Crafty Bastards Arts and Crafts Festival. Learn more at www.washingtoncitypaper.com/craftybastards.



St. Sophia Greek Festival
While we are in upper NW we will probably swing by the St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral for their annual Greek Festival. Learn more at www.saintsophiawashington.org/involved/festival.php. Be sure to get some spanakopita!

Enjoy this first full weekend of fall in DC!
