DC, Baby!


For our 4th wedding anniversary, we spent last weekend in Washington, DC. Loved it there! Beautiful weather, beautiful city (even better than our expectations). So much history and architecture. And so much walking around. We stayed north of the National Mall in Dupont Circle, which was always hoppin' at night.

On Sunday, we ended up walking behind Nancy Pelosi the morning after the House passed the health care bill. She apparently lives on the Potomac River just south of Georgetown where Monte and I happened to be walking. I was being the typical tourist just snapping away on the camera when Monte noticed 2 secret service guys (the ear pieces and constant looking around are dead giveaways) and then noticed Pelosi. I did get a photo from behind but you can hardly tell it's her. A little brush with the government is not so unusual in DC, I suppose.

We could have had one more day in DC - so much to do! We loved our trip. And my parents came up to stay w/ Ani, and of course loved that.




this gives you an idea how huge the Jefferson Memorial is

Congrats on the 4 years together! I can still remember when you first met. ;) Looks like you had a great trip, I've always wanted to go to DC.
Kiss Ani for me, we'll be heading your way this weekend. Hopefully I won't miss any turns & need directions this year.
Luv u!
