Well Star and I are in DC right now to check it out as a potential place to live. So far it is great. Obama gave an amazing speech tonight and we were outside the building. There were so many police it was crazy!!!!
We landed around 1pm and decided to do some sight seeing. We wanted through the Smithsonian mall and ducked in the Natural History Museum. Star has never been to DC before, so the museum was great. All of the animals are so realistic. She was very excited. We decided to grab some dinner at a Ethiopian Restaurant in the Adam's Morgan area of town. That area is VERY hip. Our sort of place. It is within 10 blocks of Georgetown and has every type of ethnic food. There are two Ethiopian restaurants in three blocks. I have never seen one, let alone two.
After dinner we walked around the AM area and were very pleased with the atmosphere. Then we drove downtown and caught the end of the Obama speech. Not in person but right outside the building he was giving it in. It was GREAT!!!! Just another reason to live here. We would be i the middle of everything political. Not to mention 4 hrs from the New River Gorge and 7 to the Red River Gorge.
Tomorrow we are going to a vegetarian restaurant for breakfast and then the Washington monument, Lincoln memorial, Air and Space museum, and the climbing gym. I will not be able to post any photos until I get back from climbing in Alabama on Thursday.
Chat soon.
