Georgetown walk-about and Boating

I have to get in my last couple of post from the DC trip! These are some shots of our morning in Georgetown walking along the canals and some shots out on the Potomac river in our rented canoes and kayaks from Jack’s. We wrapped this fun up with some seriously yummy fish tacos from The Tackle Box.

DC Eats

While in DC we had a great deal of amazing food thanks to Thom – the chef!   But we also ate at a couple of great places – here are some highlights.

DC Times

We had a great time in DC – thank you to our friends Thom and Mariko for opening their home to us. While it rained a great deal of the time we were there we also managed to have plenty of fun. We ate a lot and rested and read and laughed a lot.  We went inside the White House too but no camera’s were allowed.  So all that I am able to share of the time there is from the outside. Here are some pictures.
