Yesterday we toured the Capitol with our very own guide, Leslie Durham. She was good–knew answers to all the hard questions. Fun to see her in such a mature role.
Then Gage and I walked around the Tidal Basin to visit the Jefferson and the FDR Memorials. Beautiful day for a walk, although it went on a little too long when we had to detour for construction. We did find, however, one perfect tree of cherry blossoms in the midst of green cherry trees. I felt like it was just for me.
We didn’t have tickets, but we talked ourselves into a group going to the top of the Washngton Monument.
Gage is the perfect sightseeing companion–he ambles, so I’m not forced to jog everywhere we go. Of course, that could be because he has a cold and really doesn’t feel very well, but it works for me.
Dinner with Leslie at a restaurant specializing in crabcakes. Gage thought they sounded disgusting, so he ate a whole chicken.
