day 143 May 23

The brunch boat ride on the Potomac was pleasant. The evening walk around the D.C. mall was also enjoyable. Having a Presidential helicopter blow sand in your eyes as it touched down on the White House lawn was breath taking. The www.benshotme.com staff decided that a longer visit to see more of the sites was in store for the future. We'll also have to return because we failed in returning to have a pint up the hill at Thirsty Bernie. It takes more than one visit for a tradition.
