Vacation in the city

Last week, as mentioned on Saute Away, I headed to DC for a week of work and fun! I had a poster presentation Tuesday afternoon that brought me to town. I thought we had a good little paper and our presentation went well! Woo hoo for Jersey and Bell!

Other highlights of the week included several amazing meals and some tourist fun! We did a capitol tour as well as checking out the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the White House. We also were able to score tix for the Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit at the National Geographic.

Saturday we had a day of play in the city. Kate introduced me to Hell's Kitchen and the Eastern Market. I love farmers markets!!! That evening we got our fancy on and we went to see the Capitol Steps. I nearly died - they were hi-l-ar-ious. They take the news, make it funny, make it rhyme, and sing it! The whole weekend was fun like that and it was great to see Kate and be a tourist!
