DC weekend 8/19






Week started out with Screen on the Green outdoor movie showing Casablanca on the Mall, I stayed awake for almost the whole thing. Friday we checked out the Nationals game they were playing the Mets Mike Mulle is a fan so he dressed for the event. It was a quick metro ride to JFK stadium, which seems OK as far as stadiums go, but when the new stadium opens next year 5 blocks from our place and all spanking new, that will be really nice. So we are going to invest in season tickets for the 08 season, the Presidential sightings at the game definitely made that a must do. Instead of doing Hydro races on the jumbo-tron like at Safeco they actually have the 4 presidents on the track running a race, brilliant. OH and the guy singing the national anthem was named D.C. Washington, chew on that. Saturday we hit a Mexican restaurant near Verizon center called Rosa's, the big draw was tableside prepared quac in a cool lava bowl that looks like a bull. Good drinks, good guac (different than Mikes, but he appreciated the presentation and the differences and helped to finish off the bowl) and good service. So far in DC we have had Mexican food 3 times at 3 different locations, and each time it has been good, whew. We saw The Invasion and thought it was good, and filmed in DC so that was fun. We also hit Superbad which was not really so bad. Stay tuned for next weekend when we take a trip to a funny town called Seattle.
