Day 13 - 17 June

This morning it was Isabel's turn to be sick - all over the breakfast table. Liam and I headed over to "Historic George Town". Historic seems to be just another excuse for fancy shopping area, although the back streets were dotted with about ten ex-Kennedy residences and the residential area was very nice.

With time to kill we took a cruise on the Potomac with the high school graduating class from the Russian Embassy, complete with shady looking chaperones. After lunch I went for run through the Mall, over the Arlington Bridge and on to Arlington cemetery where I joined the masses at the Kennedy's final resting place. There were fewer people at the freshly turned soil where the casualties from the latest conflict are!!

In the evening we headed over to Steve O'Hearn's place for dinner. We had a great evening of home cooking and wine whilst the kids spent several hours chasing and collecting fireflies.
