Well Beth and I decided on the get the hell out of the house weekend plans.
Going to Fairax tomorrow after work. (they are calling for torrential downpours and such, but what could possibly go wrong driving to DC on friday night in heavy rain)
Checking into a hotel.
Sat we are hopping the metro to downtown DC if it is not raining we are going to walk the mall, if it is raining we are going to the Smithsonian.
Back to Fairfax to enjoy some of the weekend blues festival.
Keep your fingers crossed that I don't kill someone this weekend. I am not one to follow the rules, especially the ones specific to DC (if your picking up what I am putting down)

Yesterday I had a meeting to go to about 2 miles from my office and actually got outside...It was beautiful out there (although it wore me out because I had to run the entire way there in a suit because I was late. Had to cross the mall. It made me wish I had time to stop and see something. There were lots of kids there on school trips making it had to get through where they bunched up (not watched very well by adults accompanying them. Had an easy walk back...but had at least 20 homeless (or maybe just beggars) that wanted money. Of course, I didn't give them any.

Went back out and walked the mall for about 30 minutes today....from the Capitol to the monument. It was cooler and overcast, but no rain Perfect. I wish I could get out for 30 minutes every day...but don't usually get time for lunch. I plan to try to do it as much as I can this summer (but I said that last summer as well). I did once last year when the cherry blossoms were in bloom.

The last time I came here sightseeing, the Holocaust Museum was my favorite.

It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow...so be careful. If you get into a bind...PM me. I might be able to help. Good luck! Enjoy yourself.
