Pentagon
6 Jun 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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!Baca lagi

Wolf trap. John Legend
6 Jun 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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.Baca lagi

Cheesesteak battle
7 Jun 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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….Baca lagi

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.Baca lagi

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

Trumper Making A Disgrace of ‘Merica
7 Jun 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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.Baca lagi

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 Jun 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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.

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

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 Jun 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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.Baca lagi

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.Baca lagi
