Georgetown

Highlights from our weekend with MotherCheer and TheBoss

• familiar faces and family finally
  
• Georgetown Inn (and watching MotherCheer run the customer service people around and around to make us happy. It was inspiring.)
• the C&O Canal Tour
• Georgetown Cupcake
• Michael's new shoes (to replace the old ones which he has hand since, get this, 8TH GRADE. After I poked my finger through the bottom of the sole I felt guilty for eating out once a week and buying the occasional "luxury items," as Mikey deemed them, at Safeway like string cheese).
  
• Anthropologie (even though it makes me want to spend a lot of money and possibly stow away in the store for a few days)
• Ben's Chili Bowl. The chili, the dogs, the fries, were all excellent. Obama ate there once. We ordered the same thing he did.
  
• The monuments at night. It doesn't matter how many times I see them lit up, I am moved everytime. There is a certain patriotic magesty on The National Mall at night.
• Sleeping in. And sleeping in a King-sized bed. We did snow angels, well, sheet angels. Simultaneously.
• Riding bikes all over DC. It was such a great way to get out, get moving, and cover nearly the entire district.
• The grand opening of the old building in Eastern Market (it burned down last summer). I've never seen the market so crowded. And full of balloons!
  
• Nick's Riverside Grille. We ate right on the harbor and watched the sun set. The night was perfect.
• Showing off our cool ward out here.
• Mount Vernon. It was one of the first times Mikey has really wanted to live out here. The view over the Potomac really was breath-taking.
• Perfect weather. For four days straight. (Minus the 15 minute MONSOON that MotherCheer so courageously wanted to run through. We did. And we got soaked to the bone).
