Enjoying all Washington has to offer..............

So many places to visit in Washington, D.C. such as 

The United States National Arboretum and The Capitol....

..............but when monuments, statues and national 

buildings no longer hold your interest - although in 

Washington that's really hard because there are SO MANY 

fabulous, sights, museums and galleries to visit......

.....you can always do a little window shopping. 

Real shopping may be even better but be sure to come 

with a large bundle of greenbacks!

Old posters at our always favorite 

bookstore/bar/cafe - Kramerbooks & Afterwords 

in the Dupont Circle area.

Noticed many of these bike rental stands all around 

the city - great transportation if you're young and 

feel comfortable riding with so much traffic coming 

from every direction!

On our way out of the city Sunday morning we detoured 

a bit....just to see a few more sights, such as the 

Lincoln Memorial from the other side across 

the Memorial Bridge.......

.....and Arlington National Cemetery dressed for 

Autumn ~ words unnecessary.

As you drive up the hill from Georgetown, this lovely 

small park welcomes you to rest on a bench and take in 

the view - Autumn color was brilliant.....but nowhere to 

park the car so we couldn't stop. 

A great visit to the city, but too short as always.

Perhaps another time we'll take the train up and use the 

Metro to get around as parking a car is either impossible 

or costs a small fortune. 

I did love visiting at this time of year - the oppressive 

Summer heat gone (D.C. is very hot and humid then), 
and the Thanksgiving/Christmas crowds yet to descend.
