DC Day 1 - Tour Woodley Park and Adams Morgan.  Ate dinner at Turkish place in Adams Morgan, a Bohemian style neighborhood.  Walked down past Dupont Circle all the way to the monuments at night.  Saw Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial.  Took subway home and passed out from long travel day.

DC Day 2 - Breakfast in Woodley Park area.  A popular place called Open City.  Food was average.  Coffee good.  Headed down to tour of the Capitol Building.  Visited Harry Waxman's office.  Got galley tickets to Senate and House.  Senate was boring, just one person talking about a domestic abuse bill.  House had some interesting debate about "No More Solyndra" Bill.  Saw Waxman, Kucinich, some guy from MA and another from TX speak.  

Had a 3pm reservation at the new International Spy Museum.  One of the few museums that cost money.  A bit cartoony, but carried a surprising amount of information.  Had dinner plans at Little Serow, a hard to get into Thai restaurant in Dupont Circle serving a special kind of Thai food.  Price fixed.  Put in our name at 5:30.  Went back to hotel rested up and back to restaurant at 7:15pm.  Ate delicious, super spicy food.  Met up with friends for drinks in Dupont Circle area.  Back to hotel.

DC Day 3 - First off to Cleveland Park to visit neighborhood where I lived one summer.  Grabbed sandwiches from Italian deli.  Tried to get Capitol share bikes, but they were all out.  Went down to Metro and rode to other station and found bikes.  Rode down Rock Creek Park towards Georgetown…rode along bike path along Potomac past Watergate Hotel and Kennedy Center…then back to Georgetown.  Ate sandwiches on campus and strolled around.  Grabbed bikes again and rode down further along Rock Creek all the way to monuments.  Visited Vietnam Memorial, FDR memorial, and rode around Jefferson memorial.  Parked bikes.  Went to Natural History Museum and Air and Space museum for quick visit.  Back to hotel for a nap.  Met up with friend and did an insider White House tour.  Excellent.  Saw Oval Office, the Situation Room, the Cabinet Room, the Press Room, all the works.  Grabbed dinner in Dupont Circle again, a Turkish place.  Solid.  Ate a Mr. Yogurt.  Similar to Pinkberry, but individually owned and operated.
