You know I'm so looking forward to reading about your trip.

Looking at your outlines for each day It seems you did different things to us. I didn't manage to get a white house tour so I'm really keen to see that. Plus I wanted to do the Pentagon tour but decided it was too long for the kids to focus and not play up. We went to georgetown but didn't eat there it looked a lovely area, much nicer than the area we were in, which was Noma.

I'm hoping to finish mine over the weekend if managed to post a day every day since we've been back and only have 2 more to go.

Thanks Abby. We never got to see Georgetown in the day, which I’m really disappointed about, so the feeling is definitely mutual about being interested to read about the things you did there. Will hopefully catch up with your report later today.
