georgetown



jen and i had a great time in georgetown for new year's
we stayed 2 nights at the latham hotel on M street
upscale shops, international restaurants, and fun bars
the weather was clear and sunny
we got to walk around the entire town including the dirt trails along the canal

after visiting
mienyu and j. paul's
we brought in the new year with two delta pilots and a few young military boys at mr. smith's

back at the latham we cracked open a bottle of moet pink champagne

leaving dc was a bit shaky...
unalert, sleep deprived and saturated with champagne
i accidentally took a turn onto a one way street going the wrong way
after a few beeps and police lights i stopped the jeep
"you're going the wrong direction"
a nice plump officer got out of his car and held up traffic so i could turn the jeep around and proceed in the right direction

i pretty much felt like i did at the luke oil gas station last week

it poured the entire ride home but all in all our first road trip together was a blast
jen and i are considering our next trip...possibly austin tx in march for the sxsw music festival

CNN, driving is a priviledge, not a right, and I think you need to start taking it more seriously! But your post has inspired me to write about the Saratoga road trips of the past few years.

How about the ticket for disorderly conduct and illegally parking in a state park the following year??? And how about some hot pics of you and Jen from New Year's??
