This week I am taking a break from the West Coast to hang out with my wife as she meet with Congressional members in Washington, D.C. I arrived on Saturday morning and so far I am enjoying the varied weather - including a nice thunderstorm on Saturday night that temporarily flooded the streets and left us stranded under and awning until we dashed into one of the bazillion Starbucks outlets around Dupont Circle to dry out and let the storm pass. This is a vacation week for me, and although Washington, D.C. may not seem like a vacation destination for many, it is such a vibrant and intellectual city that it serves well as a vacation spot for me. Yesterday we returned to the Dupont Circle area for brunch, browsed the shelves in Kramer Books and then walked to view The Phillips Collection - an art museum that Natalie fell for on one of her recent solo visits to the nation's capitol. Then last night we made our way to Georgetown to eat Ethopian food at Zeds restaurant. Today we will visit the Corcoran gallery and take a look at some of the memorial sites that I missed on my last visit to D.C. - the FDR memorial and the Jefferson memorial. This promises to be an interesting week of taking photos, visiting interesting sites and eating at some of the best restaurants we know in Washington, D.C. It's a different kind of vacation than my last rest period along the shores of the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state, but I hope it will be equally stimulating! ]]>
