Political Sightseeing

We had such a fun time with Jason's mom while she was here--not only did we relax on the beach, but we spent some fun time downtown as well. Lynda had long wanted to go to the Capitol Grille, so, hoping to see a few Members of Congress or Senators, she, Jason, and I enjoyed some good calamari and steak for lunch on Friday. Then she and Jason ventured into the new Capital Visitors Center.

Tasty Lunch at the Cap Grille!

Walking through the Botanical Garden

On Sunday, Jason woke up with a nasty cold, so Lynda and I went to church and then decided to go check out Georgetown Cupcake, the DC shop that stars in the TLC show "DC Cupcakes." Ahem. Us and everyone else--I didn't realize that Georgetown Cupcake is now one of the hottest tourist attractions in an already pretty touristy city. The line was two blocks long! Lynda was on her way to visit a friend outside of Philly, so we decided to save it for next time. I've since discovered that a two block line is actually pretty short--and if people are willing to wait forever in the ridiculously hot middle of summer, I suppose there's no time when we could just walk in! We'll have to plan better ourselves next time...
