it's days like these i miss working in georgetown

i miss the days of walking across the street to get a cupcake. i miss the days of walking up wisconsin to thomas sweet. i miss walking up m street to do some shopping. but most of all i miss walking down the street to the waterfront.

with yesterday being the most gorgeous day of the year (and not because the pope was here, ok?) we gathered up the troops and headed down to the waterfront. although gone are the days of leaving at 4pm and making them open the bar for us (yes, we used to be those people.) but at least we had a convertible to drive cross town in - doesn't beat walking down the street, but it comes pretty close.

the waterfront was busy as ever and the harbor was running out of space for boats to pull in. somehow we managed to snag a table, but apparently sequoia doesn't know what table service is. i guess when you have prime real estate you don't have to worry about service or quality - both of which are lacking down there. but there's nothing quite like drinking an ice cold corona sol on a warm evening while looking out on the river.

and with the waterfront getting overly packed we decided to seek out more outdoor drinking space. where to go? old glory of course. and i was pleasantly surprised. what used to be a makeshift deck has been renovated into patio with tile floors, a retractable roof (complete with fans) and a permanent full length bar (now with two flat screens - perfect for watching the caps lose).

and nothing completes a night like last better than walking over the key bridge. the views of the city were great. will minus that ugly old steam pipe of course. the only thing that could have topped it is if any of the bakeries stayed open past 7pm. they need to take some cues from buzz - they stay open until midnight!
