Leaving snowy Minneapolis tomorrow for DC for a rather fun tour. Here’s the tentative plan so far:
Thursday: Pizzaria Paradiso with Donika. Yum.
Friday: Imee Cambronero’s party (I don’t actually know her but I guess she’s a US Congresswoman Betty McCollum staffer that’s moving back to Minnesota) at My Brother’s Place with Donika as well as Minnesotans Sara, Staff Assistant for US Congressman Collin Peterson and Jeannette, Staff Assistant (as of Monday) for US Senator Amy Klobuchar with a bunch of other Minnesotans. Point being, I need to brush up on current national politics. Afterwards, perhaps we’ll find ourselves at the Wonderland Ballroom.
Saturday: Driving somewhere with Sara. Evening, out and about with Regan, who I know through hiptop Nation but haven’t actually gotten around to meeting in person yet. Hopefully we’ll find some Strongbow.
Sunday: Probably some photography and whatnot at a TBD location (perhaps Adams Morgan? Old Town Alexandria? The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum?) with Mike. And maybe his family. And hopefully Regan too. It’ll be fantastic if it’s nice out.
Monday: Smithsonian with Sara and going to sleep early.
Tuesday: Early White House tour at 7:30am. Tuesday evening out with Ernie, Kim and James for debauchery, dirty jokes and low resolution photos.
Wednesday: TBD with Donika.
Thursday: Fly home.
I’ll be spending time with Donika and Sara in between and I’ll probably see a museum or exhibit or two as well. The weekdays during business hours I’ll have free and will be probably wandering alone. I’ve never done any of the touristy things in Washington before and I have a lot of recommendations of good places to visit. Anything I must see?

That sounds pretty exciting. Have a safe trip!

You’d think I’d be able to remember what I ordered or at the very least have blogged about it, but I suck like that. I’m guessing it was the daily frittata. The place has a great reputation though, so I’d imagine everything is very good. Very laid back place as well.

I’ve been meaning to see the Udvar-Hazy, so maybe we’ll all head out there Sunday morning, and I’ll hand you off to Mike there? Boys always seem to dig the Air and Space Museum more than I do, and I suspect this annex will be no different.
