Washington DC

Regardless of the boorish resident of the White House, Washington DC is a city of dignity and stature. Three days isn't enough to experience even a fraction of all that this historic capital has to offer, but with Blair's help, I made a reasonably good attempt!. It's said that if you leave with sense of regret because of places you've left unseen, or things you've left undone, its the best reason to return. Someday I hope I will!
