On Thursday the 25th, Shu
sh and I gave the Stone family a break and took to the streets of Georgetown on our own. Actually we started on M Street at The National Geographic Center. Sheelagh's Dad has been a life long NG fan, so Sheelagh felt that it was important for her to go there. There is always a fabulous p
hoto display of the NG photo journalists' work. It was on water in th
e life of the world. It was great. They also have a display of big bug sculptures out front.From there we caught the bus to Georgetown, a very shee shee part of Washington where the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis lived. We didn't see any of those homes, but we saw some winners in which we would love to live. After an excellent lunch at Furines, we struck up through the side streets enjoying the charm that oozes out of these houses and townhouses, most of which are listed as historically significant.
We stopped and l
ooked in galleries of art and antiques, crafts and general Briq-a-braque. We stopped in a really high end
plumbing store that is over
100 years old. It was great. The Old Stone House on M Street is one of the oldest houses in Washington. Since its completion in 1765 it has been a house and a used car dealership. It is set up as a display and a gift shop. The garden is beautiful and we used it to rest our weary legs.Trader Joe's was our last stop before we went on back to the house. I loved this date. That girl of mine is so cool.
