Weekend in Washington, D.C.

Last weekend was Mother's day in the US, so after a weekend at the beach in Chestertown with Ryan's mum, we had Mother's day lunch with his mum, his Sister and his grandparents at the Chesapeake Bay.

This Saturday, Katrin, one of the interns, was joining me on my way to Washington, as she wanted to visit her former host family where she was an Au pair.
I met with Ryan and we went to his dad's house. His friend Rayl was there and also Ryan's nieces. We spent a while in the garden with them, before we drove to Georgetown.
Georgetown is a neighboorhood located in the Northwest quadrant of Washington D.C., along the Potomac River waterfront. It is a very nice shopping area with high-end shops, bars, and restaurants.



In the afternoon, we met with Mona and Tim who also spent their weekend in Washington. We decided to visit the Museum of National History. Almost all of the musuems in Washington are free of entre. They also have a 3D cinema where they show nature movies. After the movie, we explored some sections of the museum.
It was dinnertime and we decided to look for a place to eat at the Verizon Center. An Irish looked very inviting and served delicious food.

That night, Ryan and I were invited to concert. A few years ago, he lived together with some friends in Florida. Some of them started a band. They had a concert that night in a bar in Baltimore.
The band was really good and during the breaks, I got to know them and had a chance to talk to them. I was trying to find them on Youtube but with no success, probably because they are a local band. They are called "Mandown" and the latest CD has the title "Somewhere down in Florida".
