D.C.: Always Enjoyable [Travel]

It’s been over a year since my last visit to DC, but I was there most of this last week at the ABA Antitrust Law Spring Meeting. Though interesting, I won’t bore you with details on the meeting. I did manage a couple of great meals: sushi at Asia Nine, a delectable brie, onion jam, and apple flatbread and lobster mac and cheese at Founding Farmers, a good burger at Chef Geoff’s Downtown, and my favorite local must-have, a chili half-smoke at Ben’s Chili Bowl.

And I managed to squeeze in a couple a few sites, though my camera battery was dead, so I had to use my inadequate iPhone camera.

You can kind of see the cherry trees beginning to bloom across the Tibal Basin with the Washington Monument in the background

Jefferson Memorial

Lincoln Memorial

The Refecting Pool and Washington Monument (you can kind of see the Capital in the background) from the Lincoln Memorial steps

Alexander Hamilton, my boy, at the Treasury Department

The White House

I was supposed to get home late Friday night, but after delaying the flight four hours, which allowed me to watch the enjoyable OU-Syracuse tilt, the flight was finally cancelled. I did make it home on Saturday on the 6 a.m. flight. I’m exhausted.
