Went to DC this weekend to see what was left of the Cherry Blossoms, but alas, there were only petal remnants on the ground and lots of rain to greet us. Sunil still enjoyed it though, as it was his first trip to DC since a childhood visit with his family ages ago. It was great seeing some of our friends.
We squeezed in a couple monuments before heading to Georgetown.
The highlight was definitely excitedly waiting for nearly 2 hours to catch a glimpse of Barack and Michelle Obama exiting Citronelle restaurant in DC where they were having a date night. I caught Barack, Sunil caught Michelle and we both blinked for a second and missed the other. Right after he jumped into his bullet-proof, bomb-proof commander-in-chief limo, a swat team suburban opened its hatch back window and we saw 3 men with machine guns less than a foot from us. Who knew the tinted windowed suburban housing sniper-type guys was parked right in front of us? All this time I thought it was a secret service car strategically placed to block our view.
Thank you to our friends Victor and Gloria for being gracious hosts. . .
