Although this isn't a full blown trip, I'm spending a long weekend in our nation's capitol, Washington DC. I'm attending the Green Festival and will try to squeeze in some fun as well.
This is a mini adventure by auto. Ironically, I just got a new gas guzzling Jeep Liberty...for which I traded in my not so guzzling Buick Lucerne. On top of that...SUVs are really not meant for city driving. I was fine until I got into the city itself...then the fun started. I am glad she is safely parked away and won't be on the road again until I leave Monday.
I am staying in a mini-apartment in a private residence in Columbia Heights. Very convenient and comes with a friendly dog.
This is going to be short because I'm tired. Went out to dinner with friends at the Cactus Cantina and had a yummy dinner. Bit of crazy shopping after and to another place for desert. Maybe more later...sleepy.
Alrighty...so I learned about Rodman's which is, apparently, a Washington DC institution where you can get all sorts of crazy imported food. Well, that and medical equipment, small appliances, candles, prescription drugs, wine and beer. I am currently muching on a bag of Vienna Coffee Manner that I got there for 3 bucks. Also replenished my stash of German marzipan, picked up some stem ginger shortbread and some organic stroopwaffeln. Oh yeah, and some mango juice and cherry cheese crepes for breakfast. Crazy fun place.
Afterwards, we went out for desert. I got a piece of pumpkin spice cheesecake and a cup of Chaucer's Cup tea. I must get some of that tea!
Got home VERY late...hence the sleepiness.
