WALK TO GEORGETOWN, DC
My daughter and I decided it was probably easier to head to Georgetown from her place (in Dupont) on a Monday, instead of the weekend, and I’m so glad we did. The sidewalks are very narrow, and I don’t do well with crowds anymore in my old(er) age. We stopped at CALL YOUR MOTHER for lunch, and oh my goodness it was delicious!
Again the fall colors were on full display! What a beautiful area of Washington DC.
