Melissa, my lovely wife and I are about to celebrate our fourth (4th) wedding anniversary. We are marking the occasion by spending a long weekend in our nations capital. It will be the first time that either of us has ever been there so needless to say we are very excited. This trip was planned a long time ago and as often is the case, when something is a long way off you tend to forget about it. However now that it is just around the corner and we have started making dinner reservations the trip is seeming more real and our excitement level is quickly rising.
One of the best parts of the trip will be the travelling to and from Washington D.C.. Normally I despise the travelling part as it is typically very stressful particularly with the delays, traffic and airport security. However for this trip we are travelling via Amtrak and have reserved a private sleeper car. I will write more about this in the future but if you have never traveled this way, you are truly missing out on a wonderful experience.
Fortunately for us in addition to all the normal sights our trip is during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Combine all of that with dining at a couple of places featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and you have the making of an unforgettable trip. Melissa also takes a lot of pictures and then organizes them in a way that beautifully chronicles the entire trip. This makes for such pleasurable viewing for years to come, actually bringing the trip back to life. We can't wait!
Thank you Doug Lang
