Welcome to DC

DC Pics.

We planned this Washington trip quite some time ago and suddenly here we are, two weeks before the November 8 election. Perfect trip to MSP, a quick walk to the gate with TSA pre-check: shoes on, laptop in its bag.

We flew into Baltimore (BWI), the airport farthest away from our Georgetown destination. I ordered an Uber ride after we got our bags and we were on our way within a few minutes. $48 for the 52-minute ride to the Hyatt at 2121 M St NW. Our driver was excellent. When I texted son Chris as we were driving, he suggested that we might try "black car" next time, if we want a limo ride.

We checked into our hotel shortly after 1:00 and I was  disappointed not to get a room with a view, unless you count a brick wall as a "view". I had read that one should ask for a view at this hotel, but I guess I should have asked when I made the reservation with booking.com several months ago. I was angry with myself, but it's too late now.

The hotel has a lovely 9th floor roof terrace where we could bring a meal or a drink. Maybe later ... or tomorrow.

About Me

My photo
The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
