It is behind the White House, used to be called the President’s Park. Renamed to honor the Frenchman who fought in the American Revolutionary War: Marquis de Lafayette.

We had salads from Chop’t (on 7th Street NW, opposite from Zengo) at the Botanic Garden: excellent salad and over the moon location. I couldn’t restrain myself from going in. Each picture I snapped, I told myself will need time I don’t have.
The story of my life.

United States Department of the Treasury is next (east) to the White House. A few guys are playing roller hockey on a glorious day, behind the Treasury.
Tour White House garden is also a surprise. It opens two days this weekend. The timed tickets are free, first come first serve.
Don’t know the pictures are normally there but they look like an eyesore. The weather is unbelievably good.
I think he carries the real thing?
We walked over from the Kennedy Center. This place, looks unimpressive but endured a lot of important history. Starting from President Richard Nixon, if not earlier.
Our first experience with Airbnb, during the parents weekend in DC: Great host and a cute cat. The house sits on a dead end street to Glencarlyn Park. Columbia Pike has plenty apartments and convenient to stores. The room and the bed are welcoming and comfortable. Host pays attention to small details, such as hair conditioner and bottle opener, etc. I especially like her spoons and mugs – ha ha ha I’m anal and petty. Good water pressure makes shower enjoyable too.
My review and the host’s.

Rock Creek Park cocktail is a surprise: almost none traffic got us to DC in a record time. We decided to have a glass of wine in the park first. Very lucky the spot we parked even has a little sandy beach. So I did a little yoga, can’t resist.
