A sign of the times

Highlights of my week in Washington DC included:
-warm, sunny autumn weather...gotta love that fall sunshine!
-monuments, monuments, monuments
-having the luxury of time to see the city at a nice leisurely pace and spending some time getting a sense of how some native Washingtonians live
-spending time in the many green spaces the city has to offer
-it was exciting being there this close to the election
-lunch at the World Bank Group
-an Old Town Trolley tour of the city

No matter which door we tried, the Obamas weren't taking drop-ins.
Clearly, they missed our calls to host us |

Of course, having some awesome, "locals" to act as tour guides didn't hurt at all either! They were most gracious hosts and I am ever grateful to them for letting me take advantage of their hospitality for an entire week.
And that, as they say, has made all the difference!! :)

Some lovely accomodations at the

So, with autumn well under way in Washington, I took this picture on my last day as a sign of things to come before I fly up to Bangor, Maine to see what all the fuss about the New England fall colors is. I`m sure I won`t be disappointed and, as always, I am looking forward to seeing what is out there!!!
