So many decisions could have been bad!

DC Adventure Report

I mistakenly thought this was sent to everyone in the group so it is a few weeks late but still well worth reading. Here is Jan and Cheryl's captivating description of their trip to DC:


Encore, Encore… or… the running get-a-way that must be repeated:  Our invitation to DC truly came from the heart.  We were welcomed into Ceil’s townhouse with a dinner on the grill, wine and stories about politics (... when in Rome).  This was followed by a long walk around the tidal basin under the cherry blossoms which were in full bloom (check out Cheryl's phone's wallpaper).  Saturday, we ran 5 miles through Rock Creek Park, stopping in Georgetown for an organic breakfast.  The run was so pleasant, as was the conversation, so we insanely decided to retrace our steps, rather than catch a bus.  We spent the rest of the day as tourists, and did a ‘monument’ run Sunday morning as well.  In between our consecutive day runs, we enjoyed a visit to the National Portrait Gallery, including relaxing in its fabulous courtyard, then a chocolate- infused dinner experience and a play at the Ford Theater. It was a 5-star plus weekend although we missed our fellow runners
