We went out to eat Friday night and went to Monk's for some drinks after. Apparently it is one of the top 10 places in the country that you have to have a beer. On Saturday we went around and saw all the sights, we hit up the Rocky statue, the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and more. It was nice to get a refresher on some of the history that makes up our great country, especially when the inauguration was just a few days away. For lunch we of course got some cheesesteaks that were delicious. I wouldn't say that they are better than a good cheesesteak from one of my favorite joints up in Boston but DC is anemic when it comes to quality food so it was a welcomed delight. Saturday night we went out for some more dinner and drinks and rapped things up pretty early so we could get on the road early on Sunday and beat the inauguration traffic that was headed to DC.

We have a few pictures from the weekend, nothing special but another place to cross of the list - http://picasaweb.google.com/brianpfitzgerald.

This weekend Mandy and Dan came down for the weekend and we had an awesome time. Friday night we went out in our neighborhood, had some dinner, a few too many drinks, played some darts and then came home and stayed up til 1AM playing Cranium and drinking scotch...ouch. Saturday AM was a bit rough but we stepped up and headed downtown to get some lunch and walk around the mall/Capitol area. We went to the Air and Space Museum and walked around for a bit.

We got back here in the afternoon and proceeded to watch 4 or 5 movies - 300, Heartbreak Kid, Transformers, Traffic and something else. All movies I had seen before but it was that kind of day, good times.
