While we were in DC this past weekend, we spent a morning wandering around the darling Capitol Hill neighborhood after grabbing a quick bite at District Donuts and a coffee at Pineapples & Pearls. On every trip we find ourselves trying to explore neighborhoods in search of our favorite homes, but with so many beautiful homes bedecked in holiday cheer, it was nearly impossible to settle on a favorite. Still, walking the neighborhood streets with Orvis was a wonderful way to spend a chilly December morning in our nation’s capital.
