Chris had a business meeting in DC, so I tagged along :) Weather was supposed to be nicer than MA too.
Spent one day walking around Georgetown - so many shops and restaurants and cute homes
the University is beautiful
It sits right along the Potomac - so of course they have sculling teams
Chris was off one morning - but had afternoon meetings, so he saw a little of Georgetown. We did go back and have dinner at Martins Tavern - well known by past Presidents, like JFK and Truman (frequent visitors)
And we had a Georgetown Cupcake - pretty good!
Chris had meetings the next morning. But later in the day, we managed to get around a lot of places:
Arlington National Cemetary
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Lincoln Memorial
Vietnam Memorial Wall
Washington's Monument
WWII Memorial
Jefferson's Memorial
Treasury Building
The White House!
VP motorcade - leaving a meeting at the White House
And we managed to speed through a few museums - Museum of Natural History
Capitol Building
Air & Space Museum - Chris' favorite
National Art Museum - Monet - one of my favorite artists (was in the last room we found, whew)
National Archives too - where we saw the Declaration of Independence; Constitution and Bill of Rights!
It was a whirlwind trip - but we did see a lot (including the cherry blossoms blooming!). We ate in cool Taverns each night and walked many miles each day.
