Adventures (and Misadventures) of Elliott and Mary

Issue 10 - Our Washington, DC Visit - June 24 - July 8

Our slip is at the far left, directly under the Washington Monument
 
 
 
 
 

As you can see, We are right downtown, within walking distance of the Smithsonian, the Capital, and many of the monuments.
 

There are two Metro stations, L'Enfant Plaza and Waterfront, within 5 and 6 blocks of us.
Equally important, there is a Safeway 6 blocks away. We are set...
 

Washington DC is one of those special places for us. It's full of life and things to see and do. We have fond memories of the time we spent here. We had wanted to see if some of those things were still here, we wanted to touch base with old friends, and we wanted to watch the 4th of July fireworks from right downtown on the DC waterfront.

We did all those things!!
 

• We played tourist

 

	We got our metro passes and took off for the Mall. This was the weekend for the Folk Festival organized by the Simthsonian. They put on quite a show.
Part of a water craft area		A truck from India/Pakistan that is so cool they brought it back from a previous Festival

We have visited friends, been tourists, and been enjoying sleeping till we want to get up.

We will visit with Kristin's parents-in-law for dinner Saturday. Both Kristin and Ross and Kevin and Kristen will be there.
On Sunday they will join us and some friends on Letitia to watch the 4th of July fireworks.

There are some REALLY longtime members here!!
