After the business part of the trip was over, we headed back up to Washington, D.C. The weather that day was gorgeous – the sun was shining and the high temperature was in the mid-70s. We elatedly wore shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops, as if summer had arrived! Our first stop upon arriving in DC, following the drive up from North Carolina, was to grab a slightly belated lunch at the Maine Street Fish Market. Even us seafood-loving North-westerners had never seen anything quite like this – there were amazing and high-volume options for freshly-cooked, fresh-caught, and even live seafood!
After eating our fill – and then some – of the wonderful seafood and associated fare (crab cakes, shrimp, french fries, hushpuppies, sweet corn), we headed to the Georgetown University part of town to enjoy some wonderful scenery, try out a cupcake, and soak up some more warm sun along the banks of the Potomac River.
To wrap up the day, we checked in to our VRBO spot near Union Station, settled in, and got some Ethiopian takeout from a local restaurant. Yum! Great way to end a wonderful day!
