While winter has started, there are still so many things to experience in D.C. Here are some of the things we saw in early December:
World AIDS Day
The AIDS quilt was displayed on the White House lawn on World AIDS Day, December 1st.
Lighting of the National Christmas Tree
Syrians celebrating by the White House
The Kennedy Center Honors
The Kennedy Center decorated in rainbow hues for the Kennedy Center Honors
Major Supreme Court case
Demonstrations outside the Supreme Court as the most anticipated case of the year was argued – about Tennessee’s ban on treatment for transgender minors.
Trees and decorations everywhere
Capitol Christmas Tree
Eastern Market Metro
Union Station
Willard Hotel
Dupont Circle
CityCenter
And yes, if you are wondering, it is possible to transport a large tree on the Metro (see the man by the escalator):
Fun and free this weekend:
Santarchy is on Saturday (the 14th), and ice sculptures are being created at CityCenter on Saturday and Sunday (the 14th and 15th)
