Rich and I spent the weekend in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., for a brief get-away. The cherry blossoms were just budding, but the dogwoods were in bloom! We did a lot of walking, visited some fun food stores, and ate in our suite on Saturday evening. Rich enjoyed Dean and Deluca's where we bought little (prices were quite high), and Trader Joe's - where we bought most of our dinner.
We walked along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, spent time at the edge of the Potomac watching high school crewing races, and walked through the beautiful old housing area above the river as far as Dunbarton Oaks where the concept of the United Nations was born. On our way home we drove up Embassy Row and circled the Washington National Cathedral. It was a delightful trip!

Volunteers were cleaning and painting and getting ready for the canal boat season. The canal had been drained for the winter.
Rowing crews from Gonzaga, Wilson, and Washington Lee high schools compete on the Potomac, with Roosevelt Island in the background.
The flag comes down and the horn blows to mark the finish line.
