7-17: for safe road trips and happy reunions and dinner at P.F. Chang’s
7-18: for visits to the Capitol, Library of Congress, Botanic Gardens, Air and Space Museum, and American History Museum (and air conditioning in each of those places) AND for a meal at Ben’s Chili Bowl that didn’t induce a heart attack
7-19: for discovering a new favorite restaurant in Washington, DC - Founding Farmers – that you simply MUST eat at the next time you’re there. Plan your meal in advance here.
7-20: for visits to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (money, money, money!) and the National Cathedral; a fabulous lunch at one of my old favorites Café Deluxe; a sobering but educational visit to the National Holocaust Museum; and a delicious dinner with old friends at a great Vietnamese restaurant
7-21: for surviving a really HOT visit to the National Zoo and yet another visit to the International Spy Museum and I can't remember what else because it was so stinking hot
7-22: for a White House tour (which I always love) after waiting outside for about 40 minutes on what was the hottest day in Washington, DC on record since something like 1926 (121 with the heat index) AND living to tell the tale (although I don’t think my sweat glands will ever be the same); for a light, refreshing lunch of a tomato salad at the Old Ebbitt Grill (perfect for a hot summer day); for a lovely late-afternoon visit to the Lincoln, Korean War, World War 2, and Vietnam War Memorials
