Eating out everyday until Monday afternoon which is a nice change of pace for us. Visiting DC and reveling in this city's history and culture.
This morning we ate in the main dining room and had: oatmeal souffle with berries and nuts for him (whoaaaaaaaa I sooo need this recipe!); an egg white omelette Caprese for me and a full American breakfast with vanilla yoghurt "French toast", bacon, grits and buttered bisquits for the baby piglet(aka DGD) we travel with. Stored the sweetum's leftovers in the room's fridge since I knew she couldn't possibly eat all though she made a valiant try, LOL.
Went to the National Zoo today and had the hotel make up a picnic lunch of grilled chicken salad and a Cobb's salad with fruit on the side w/ cold bottles of water in an insulated bag; very thoughtful and utilitarian.
Walked back from the zoo and stopped at the National Cathedral so DGD could draw pictures of the building and we could eat our lunch amidst the herbal section of the Bishop's Garden. A lively conversation was had between bites that drew on our different religious heritages.
Now back at the hotel after a long walk, everyone else still napping and thus I cancelled our dinner reservation. It'll be room service and a view out the window to better evoke our surroundings. I'm having the sole; no idea what the sleeping beauties will want.
