Washington, DC (USA)

At 1000, Mollie and I left my apartment and drove to Georgetown.  When we got into the city, we found a good place to park and then walked around on M Street until the Crumbs and Whiskers Kitten Lounge opened (1100).  Mollie told me that she’d never been in Georgetown before (“except by accident”) and was was intrigued by the many stores and restaurants.  We met the daughter of my friend (Chris), Ashley, just as the Kitten Lounge opened and we spent 30 minutes playing with the kittens.  Mollie had a lot of fun and we took lots of pictures.  Afterwards, we went over to the Patagonia store to look around.  Mollie wanted to get some lunch so we went to a place called America Eats Tavern for lunch (BBQ and burgers).  We had a great (relaxed) conversation and the food was good.  After we were done eating (1245), we explored the area, enjoying the warm sun as we walked on the waterfront and the C&O Canal path.  Mollie saw some murals and sculptures that she liked.  It was nice to walk around in the pleasant weather and we talked a lot about the animals, architecture and people we encountered.  We then walked back to the car and followed Mollie’s Google Maps app toward Alexandria.  There was a lot of traffic on the way but it gave us more time to talk.  We got home at 1500 - what a fun day!
