2 pints of
margarita = a really good nights
unconsciousness/sleep! I barely heard Stephen's alarm go off at 6:30 this morning, nor did I hear him leave the house. I only just heard him
texting me the score at half time! He had gone off to the Rangers supporters club in order to watch the Rangers v Celtic game. He came back hoarse and jubilant. Rangers had won 4-2...there was a group of 20 Scotsmen in DC who were exceedingly happy today!
As this is the weekend of doing things we hadn't got round to doing before, we decided to catch the water taxi over to Georgetown this afternoon. When we got down the marina the queue was HUGE! It was 5 minutes until departure time and I thought we'd never get tickets. Thankfully the huge line was to board the boat. It was a much smaller line to actually buy the tickets!
We boarded and headed to the top desk to grab a seat...and ran into Stuart and his family. Stuart is a fellow Bear and Chairman of the supporters club, and was equally as hoarse as Stephen! It was lovely to meet his wife, little toddler and his mum and dad. He and his wife both work at the Embassy and we knew a few people in common. The boat ride was a lot of fun. We passed all the monuments and saw lots of other sights...including the butt of a girl on the top deck! We had moved downstairs for a minute and she was standing against the guard rail wearing a little floaty dress...the couple sitting next to me were in stitches so I followed their gaze...her little skirt was floating about in the breeze and flashing her butt - thank god she was wearing underwear!!! (Although the underwear wasn't nearly big enough!!)
We wandered about Georgetown for a bit, then had a bite to eat. I'd remembered that this one place had a nice patio, but had forgotten that it had limited Stephen potential in its menu. It was a pretty lite bite we ended up having!!
I spent the entire journey back to Old Town trying to avoid being stabbed by the
underwiring in my Twins Containment Unit, which was making a bid for freedom. I was torn between pushing it back in, or pulling it out...but that might have resulted in non-identical twins! Not a good look! Another containent unit bites the dust...Will need to do another massive M&S re-stock when I'm next back in the UK.
We headed to the Chart House to see if we could do drinks on the patio. The hostess smiled and told us there was a 2 hour wait for a table. We decided to try again some other night!! We headed to
Chadwicks and stayed a little longer than anticipated!!! They sell
Magners cider, and pints were disappearing rapidly!!
