It's been a long time since I posted here, and a lot has happened. We moved (twice) had to leave a dog behind (Rory, the badly behaved border collie, is now a country dog in North Carolina) and Christopher and I are staying home together in our townhouse in Maryland.
We went to Washington today to search out the lesser known sites. We've been to The Mall several times and gone in the Natural History Museum, Air and Space, all the usual sites. Today we were going to tackle Capitol Hill. The bookstores, the coffeeshops. Not the tourist sites! The real city!
We never quite made it to The Real City. Instead, we went through National Building Museum - excellent, especially for kids - and then Union Station. Christopher fell asleep, and I started the triumphant march to Capitol Hill and the Bookstore on C between 6th and 7th.
But apparently there are four versions of C street. We never found the right one. After circling the Capitol four times, under the increasingly suspicious glares of Capitol Police, I gave up.
We ended up at the Mall. Botanic Gardens. Christopher loved the Children's Garden, and so did I, but it will still a defeat. But one day, I will find it. The real city.
