Saturday, James and I were debating on where to have breakfast: the Brannons' for his world famous omelet, in DC at the Lincoln Waffle House for possibly the best sausage on the planet, or favorite haunt Ben's Chili Bowl. This decision was not to be taken lightly. The first meal of the day is an important one. What to do? Consume a famous homemade omelet??? Go across the street from Ford's Theater and have pancakes and the best sausage in the world? Or maybe, just maybe.....chili on U Street. Needless to say, with Metro travel time, by the time we got up to U Street, it would indeed be close enough to be considered lunchtime. Ben's it is!!! And what a delicious lunch it was...
From Ben's, we Metro'd back inward in DC to 7th and F. There's rumors of a particularly delicious beverage to be found at the District Chophouse: Bourbon Stout. So James and I bellied up to the bar, and ordered a couple of "warm up" pints before the grand finale: Bourbon Stout. Yum!!!
Satiated beyond belief, we walked over in the rain to the Newseum to make sure we got a good seat for a 4pm program: "The Future of News: Investigative Journalism...How Will It Survive?" The main attraction? An appearance by the man himself, Bob Woodward. Giddy! Being Newseum members, we RSVP'd to get first dibs on seating before the unwashed masses. And it worked. We were there about 3:00 and ended up in the front row on the floor. Nice. Perfect view of the interview. It was taped and will be broadcast sometime in January for PBS.What I like to call "Take 1":
And what I like to call "Take 2" (with a YouTube upload since it's too large for Blogger):
And of course afterward, as a nightcap before heading back to Alexandria, a stop at Gordon Biersch for some fine schwarzbier. And the final photo of me with a girlie. James was on a mission to get my photo with whomever amongst the hotties he could find along our travels:
