<<< Mary Poppins >>> Downtown Washington

8/4/2010

In coincidence with our anniversary, we took Margaret to DC to spend the night and to see Mary Poppins at the Kennedy Center. We stayed at the Doubletree on New Hampshire Ave NW in DC. Dinner was at the Roof Terrace Restaurant in the Kennedy Center.

We took Buddy to the Kennel and then left Margaret’s at 1145. We stopped in Cambridge at Snappers Restaurant for lunch. We checked into the Doubletree Hotel on New Hampshire NW at about 1600. We went to the Roof Terrace Restaurant and Bar on the south end of the building for dinner. The performance of Mary Poppins was excellent. Wednesday morning, the GPS took us through downtown Washington. We stopped at Denny's for brunch and had Margaret at her house by 1330.

The morning after the show, we slept in a while to let the traffic clear. This GPS has a traffic function in it and I suspect it decided to alter our route out of DC to avoid traffic. We came in on New York Avenue, but the trip out took us downtown, around the Washington Monument, past the Jefferson Memorial and then up the northeast side of the district and back to US 50. After we crossed back onto the Eastern Shore, we stopped at Denny's for brunch.
