Day 19

Our last full day in DC so we head over to the White House and just in front of the Left Wing is the Renwick Gallery.  They have the most amazing installations happening.  Only about eight art pieces but really worth seeing.

After the gallery we take a taxi to Old Alexandria and visit the old Torpedo Factory which now houses dozens of working art studios.  The artists are ‘in situ’ so have a place not only to work but to also sell their creations. 

After a quick promenade by the water we then head up King Street.  It’s a very looong street and we stop for a bite to eat before ‘attempting’ to catch a train.  The train was delayed and we waited and waited and waited, in the end decided to take a cab to Georgetown.  Should have done that in the first place!

We are meeting Regan at Martin’s Tavern – a very famous tavern frequented by many of the nation’s political elite.  JFK proposed to Jackie there while still a congressman.

A late night drink at Ebbitt’s and then a nightcap at our hotel bar!  I am NOT drinking when I get home!
