Hail to the Chief....
he's the chief and he needs hailing...... writing this from the GW campus - having a girl weekend with Stacie and Alecia - FABULOUS fun - only glitch to this point was that my SD card in my camera JUST decided it wanted to erase itself - sigh - oh well - still have the rest of the weekend to make it up....
Adventures so far - we got flight delayed yesterday because of a fog storm over DC which apparently traveled down the eastern seaboard. But flight delays are marvelous opportunities for revelry - just started meeting people - Anthony from Michigan who worked for our airline was most helpful - we ended up comparing tattoo stories! Then there was Sergei from Moscow,(there's ALWAYS going to be a Sergei) who's a skydiving instructor - SO going skydiving now that I know someone who does it- been wanting to do that for awhile. Got here - and played navigator to Stacie's driver - in the rain and in Friday rush hour - MUCH MERRIMENT ENSUED - had a National Lampoon's European Vacation moment - "look kids - the White House, the Old Post Office..." we had to circle the block a few times to figure out where in the ninth level of Hades the parking garage was!!! We're staying at the "Harrington" which gets my absolute seal of approval - not modern, old and European-ish - and right in the middle of downtown stuff. Went out to dinner with Stacie's friends - good to meet them, and know part of her world now. Walked around - very sad that Barnes and Noble closes at 10. (Another good point of the hotel- RIGHT across the street from Barnes and Noble). Alecia and I walked to the White House to wave at the President and Laura and to see the Christmas lights.
This morning- oh my GOSH- housekeeping knocks at 9 - what's THAT??? We get up - hit B&N for b-fast coffee, then the Old Post Office (tower tour will be later), then the Metro to hit GW for Alecia to check it out - oh remember the days of being a Senior and doing college tours??? This is the perfect weekend: grey and drizzly, not toooooo cold - great for walking around the city...
SO - that's DC part one- hopefully I'll have better luck with my stupid SD card from here on out......
By the way - for fun - check out Barney Bush.
