"georgetown #7, washington"
the white house.  the smithsonian.  the kennedy centre.  the capitol building.  lincoln memorial.  those are all must-sees when you visit washington, d.c. ... we saw all of those and more at the end of last year but my favourite was taking a stroll through georgetown, a town full of cafes and shops in old historical buildings ... although a lot of the stores are well-known chains and franchises but if i close my eyes i can almost imagine that once upon a time they were all quaint little shops with old country charm and hand-made goodies ...

we started the morning with breakfast at "le pain quotidien", an international chain that was founded in brussels which literally means "the daily bread" ... the breakfast was delicious, healthy and cozy ... we ate on a distressed wooden table as long as the length of the room, sharing it with other breakfast goers ... in addition to the fabulous food, it was the little touches that made it so memorable ... the lady that sat across from us ordered a cup of hot chocolate ... a steaming hot bowl of fresh milk was served alongside a little jug of warm melted chocolate ... mmmmm

"Georgetown #3, Washington"
georgetown was founded in the 1751 and predates the establishment of the district of columbia by more than a century ... situated along the potomac river in northwest washington, dc., it is home to georgetown university and the "old stone house" - the oldest building in d.c. ... you will recognize the names of many current and past residents of georgetown (many of whom are politicians) ... when we walked by john f. kennedy & jackie kennedy's old house, i got this sense that i was surrounded by history and memories ...

"Window Display, Washington"
i have to admit i'm not a huge shopper or a designer labels kinda gal ... the photographs and family videos i take are my souvenirs ... and with the exception of this trip, i tend to buy art books or prints ... however, i had a great time window shopping in georgetown ... not only were the buildings and facades beautiful on the outside but there were many beautifully arranged window displays and stores ... to top it off, we found every excuse to sit down for a cup of coffee and indulge in ice cream
