Saturday
Places we did and did not go As always, there was a big plan for the day, but our goal was the boardwalk at Patuxent River Park. There was some confusion about whether this was Jackson landing and I think it turns out that that is on the other side of the water. When we […]
A summary of our meals this first week in DC
Kaz sushi – Totally worth it. Dolan – Uyghur cuisine, and totally not a great time. We were seated out on the sidewalk and there was a guy whose preaching and freaking was reverberating off the subway shelter. The food was… well, interesting. Il Canale – in Georgetown – Famous for their pizza, fine, average, […]
Hillwood
Wonderful, just fabulous. The former home of Marjory Merriwether Post the grounds were beautiful. A curving walkway takes you through the property passing by outbuildings that housed the staff, the dog cemetery, the Japanese gardens and greenhouses. The house itself was worth a look but it was the Gardens that were really the draw. You […]
AnneMarie Sculpture Garden

The best waterfall and an unexpected walk
How many photos can you take of a waterfall? a lot more than I show here. It wasn’t that the fall was in and of itself so spectacular, though it was lovely , its was that it was easy to get to, a short walk, a tiny climb with plenty of places to walk into […]

Party? in the Berkshires
On a few of our drives I have noticed a small sign “party” and wondered what it was, wonder if it was this. The Hottest Party Is at … the Farm With a summer schedule packed with dinners, concerts and dances, these community-minded farms are as social as any country club. By Bob Morris Published Aug. 18, […]
