Dollingers in DC

We arrived in DC friday night, after an easy flight. Love that direct tv! Took an expensive cab ride to our hotel. The six heavy bags pushed us over but we'll be depositing most of it in Uganda! We should be much lighter traveling through africa, shopping excluded! We checked in and ate across the street at The Capitol brewery. Saturday we spent on the hop on hop off tour bus but it was pretty much a hop on for us. Too cold to hop off. We had a great brunch at the old ebbitt grill, a DC landmark, around the corner from the white house. No sign of Bush but we did run into many obamas during our stay. We found an awesome meditteranean restaurant for dinner and then on shayna's request, saw the tale of despereaux. Don't bother if you liked the book! Today we spent much of the day in the spy museum...Very fun. We got a panoramic view of the city from atop of the old post office. We spent our evening in Georgetown, shopping and dining. We had a great Italian meal at paolo's. Wishing you all a happy first night of hanukah. We'll try to post one more time before we leave for London tomorrow night.
