Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle are more funky and Georgetown is more upscale.

The bus tour will have a good moon if it's clear.

If you have any extra time, stop by the White House and kill everyone.

Cloud · 02-08-2007, 10:28 PM

don't think the White House is on my agenda . . . unless I pass by it on the moonlight tour.

Hey there Cloud! I have absolutely no advice on what to see or where to go (never been there m'self) I just wanted to say hi and welcome to the Cellar

Cloud · 02-09-2007, 10:01 AM

thank you! that's very nice.

Here's a list of links I've compiled for my DC trip:
http://del.icio.us/Violet.West/DC

I've now read all my guidebooks and made my definate short list:

1) Two main Smith museums, probably Air & Space (including the National Treasures mini-exhibit, since the History museum is closed, and To Fly at the IMAX); and the American Indian Museum.
2) Library of Congress (only open on Saturday)
3) Moonlight Monument tour on Saturday night if weather is good
4) King Lear at the Folger Shakespeare Theater on Sun. afternoon (got my tickets)
5) And, of course, the Supreme Court oral argument on Monday.
6) A nice dinner (by myself) on Friday night--possibly Komi.

My secondary list of things to do if I can fit them in:
1) Renwick Gallery for crafts
2) Duck into the Hirshhorn Museum (modern art) and see Ron Mueck's Big Man.
3) A quick visit to the National Postal Museum, because it's right close to the hotel.
4) Union Station, again because right close to the hotel.
5) Eastern Market
6) A neighborhood--Dupont Circle/Adams Morgan

My boss just told me I'm invited to go with them to the symphony at the Kennedy Center. I'm torn--should I go with them for a fancy, rather stuff, and all-expenses night on the town, including dinner, concert & drinks with my boss, his wife & the clients . . .

or should I take the Moonlight Monument tour by myself with a bus load of strangers?

Free booze?

Clodfobble · 02-19-2007, 05:32 PM

Unless you'll be really, really miserable at the symphony, I'd take your boss's invitation. It sounds like a nice evening in and of itself, and it's always a good idea to socialize with the boss.

Cloud · 02-19-2007, 05:59 PM

yeah, it's a done deal. gotta buy a dress now! and take more shoes!

monster · 02-19-2007, 06:31 PM

Is it this coming Friday then?

Cloud · 02-19-2007, 08:07 PM

Friday is when I leave; the symphony is on Friday; King Lear on Sunday; and the Supreme Court on Monday.

Woohoo!

My puppies are gonna be pooped. They already are from all the shop . . . er, hunting and gathering.

glatt · 02-20-2007, 10:16 AM

It's beginning to warm up. Don't know what the weekend weather will be, but hopefully the snow will be mostly melted by then.

do we have different interpretations of "puppies" ? perhaps you mean Hush Puppies? Or real baby dogs? Rather than this sort:

After the previous two nights the court will be a let down. The costumes are dull and they don't harmonize for crap.
