Pentagon
6 juin 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
We were fortunate that Bill’s brother, Mike, was in town and free on our DC day so we got to have lunch with him at his office - the Pentagon.
Fun to see him in his digs and get to see the Vietnam War corridor and Mike’s favorite - a corridor with enlargements of the sections of a huge WWII tapestry from England. And lunch in the Navy Dining Room.
Hard to believe I (Dawn) used to live just up the street and take the metro from the Pentagon downtown to work every day. Feels like a million years ago - it has changed so much!En savoir plus

Gotta love the name. Needed a place to unwind and do some remote work and make plans for next steps. So we settled down easy with a flight. 😀🍺

Wolf trap. John Legend
6 juin 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F
This was an amazing evening. Wolf Trap is beautiful. And this was John Legend with the orchestra. Telling his stories and his musical history. He was so sweet and gracious and funny and sexy. And that voice just fills the place to the rafters. A beautiful night.En savoir plus

Cheesesteak battle
7 juin 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Geno’s versus Pat’s. We are in Philly so we had to go. Bill went to get a Geno’s wit whiz and I got a Pat’s wit American.
Pat’s had more steak and also more bread. But not much flavor.
Geno’s had softer bread and the whiz made it juicy. Not as much steak tho.
In the end, we decided Geno’s for the drip factor.
We were one of at least 4 other couples we saw doing the same thing. Lol. Not so original.

Also - that was more than enough cheesesteak. Prefer flavor to that heavy sandwich. But when in Philly….En savoir plus

Well….if we had known how it was going to go, we may have bailed right then. But we stuck it out with Kyle- who was really a prick. lol.

Saw the outline of the first President’s home (not the White House until it was moved to DC) and a quick speed by the Liberty Bell.En savoir plus

Inside the room that served as the judicial branch for many years. Interesting to think about having to build the entire government.

Tour took us back behind Independence Hall where tour guide tried to lull us to sleep with stories he thought were amusing. 😂 The square is beautiful though.

Trumper Making A Disgrace of ‘Merica
7 juin 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
They apparently do these educational tours for kids that include being part of a drum and fife brigade to demonstrate the Revolution. Well some assh**e trumper on horseback joined the end of it. The pour tour leader had to make a scene getting him to leave.En savoir plus

Our tour guide didn’t actually take us to see it or talk about it on our tour (!!) so we went in afterward.

Redding Terminal Market
7 juin 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
This is a unique combo of food hall and farmers market... but probably more on the food hall. We had some piergi, a pretzel with jalapeno sausage in it, and some amazing jambalaya with gumbo on it.

Home of the 20 oz pint

Y’all may think we are alcoholics, but we meet the best local folks and get inside scoop away from tourist joints.

While hanging at Love City, we watched this fun dating show. These two were hilarious to watch him try to impress her and her big 80s hair. Just good people watching.

Another Fail - Cherry Street Pier
8 juin 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
I swear I read there is a farmers market from 10-2 on Saturdays. We got there and they were setting up for some Islamic festival starting at 2. 🤦‍♀️

I have no idea how I screwed that up!

Historic Clark Park Farmers Market
8 juin 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
Always love a good farmer’s market. This was in a more urban neighborhood. We never figured out why there is a statue of Charles Dickens there.

Also - peas. It was interesting to see shelled peas at both markets we went to. Just not something we see in Texas.En savoir plus

Cool brewery and lots of folks watching the Phillies in London. The Poe’s Sandwich Shop sandwiches were no joke! We each ate half and saved the rest for our tailgate.

Odd little alter stuck in the brick.En savoir plus
