Day 15 - Washington DC

After breakfast we went for a quick walk around the block stopping at ‘Born Yesterday’ to look at the most adorable baby gear.  After checking out we taxi it to the station to catch the 11.11 train to Washington, arriving at 1.10pm.  We are booked into the Hay-Adams.  Upon checking in I suddenly realize this was not the hotel I had wanted to book into but it really is a beautiful, elegant hotel.  Built in 1928 for John Hay, who was 1st secretary to Lincoln and John Adams, it is quite beautiful.   It looks straight across to the White House.

We take a stroll after checking in and have a drink at POV at the Washington Hotel.  This rooftop bar overlooks the White House … after you look over the Treasury!  Back home for quiet time.  Not going out tonight so we head downstairs to the bar – decorated with prints of fabulous caricatures of various political figures, even the coasters reflect the same including the bar tenders who have been working here for years!

Up to the restaurant for a fantastic meal J  Such an elegant and tranquil space, it exudes sophistication.  The meal is sensational and the service impeccable.    10 out of 10 from me.
