xmas in DC
One of the prettiest buildings in DC is the Old Executive Building - you may have seen it on fire last week. I won't bore you with the historical treaties and other fun stuff history buffs dally over when visiting but suffice to say it certainly has its own character in this stuffy town. A definite nod to the French, this gray and white building looks like a wedding cake among the staid and boring concrete buildings that surround it. It sits adjacent to the White House, itself rather smelly while on tour and don't get me started about the interior decorating, and does not deserve to be overshadowed by its political cousin.
As per our tradition, we bundle up and head for the National Tree around Christmas time. We were too late to visit the giant candlestick (menorah) that stands close by though it's a favorite of the girls. Remind me to tell you our other less-favorite tradition of losing a kid while there - every.damn.year. WYYYYYNNNNTTTEERRR!
