Sloughing Off

While Barack and crew are working on the stimulus plan (in between watching the Secretive Service flinch when Barack shouts Hey, watch this! while he body-surfs), my wife and I went down to Georgetown for a day away. We had fun. The hotel was one of those 'boutique' hotels, which means a fair amount of polished wood and gentility (we're big on things like that, when we can); it was about two blocks from downtown, about six blocks from a restaurant called The Tombs (we recommend it -- essentially, its a college eating establishment), and about eight blocks from Georgetown University, which I'd never seen before (man, but that place is massive). We did a little bit of shopping, and a lot of walking around and admiring architecture. Georgetown is a pretty place.
