What better way to celebrate the last month of the year than to take a look back on 2009 and remember your very best moments. As much as I love saying "What a rough year this has been", and remembering all of the things I've overcome, I do want to focus on all of the positive things.

Check out this morsel of awesome. I'm pretty sure Gwen Bell is my new hero.

So, over the next month, I'll also be sharing some of my bests, and I suggest you do the same because all of the cool kids are doing it. (mostly me.)

While each and every trip had its own special meaning to me, and the people I was with on each were quite the company, I had to definitely go with a place I had never been before as the winner. It was a surprise trip, that I had no idea where I was going until I guessed, and then spent a night in one of the most awesome cities ever.

Winner: Washington D.C, September 26th -September 27th, 2009.
Post Recap: Here.

One of my good friends took me to DC to experience it. Though the weather was not exactly agreeing with us the first night, we still saw all of the great sites and went to the most amazing place for dinner where I had the most delicious bowl of jambalaya soup ever. I went to a club, almost went to a strip joint, saw a grown man in tighty whities, and tried to get us more hotel time by saying my friend was throwing up. I haven't been back to the city since, but now I go as far as searching for concerts playing in that area to have another excuse to go.
