Green Flamingobecause I said so

In this world many things revolve around style, no matter where, when, and how it takes place. At the moment I am talking about cities that have style. Last week, I went on a little vacation…

To Washington DC, capitol of the United States. We were only a few hours away, and on New Years Day we set out on our journey.

What appears to be the style that stands out the most is the authenticity of the city, as a capitol, with grand buildings, though the “style” of those buildings seems old. But really, the city is quite modernized.

So our first day there we saw the Smithsonian museums, and later resided for the night at Andrews airforce base. The day we visited the zoo, the natural history museum, and then we went back to our now upgraded sweet at the base. And Saturday was our day of walking around, looking at monuments and memorials, before heading back home.

Now, even with all of that combined, I think the real reason we went was for the food, and the style. I will talk of our dining experience.

The first night we ate at a quaint little french restaurant in  george town, called La Madeline, which you may have heard of, and I had a very good chicken crepe, which was topped off with a sacher torte. The next morning we ate at IHOP, but for that chain they did well. In the evening we visited Union Station’s Pizzeria Uno, and enjoyed some of their deepdish pizza specialty. And Saturday night we ate at cracker barrel, and I had some spicy grilled catfish.

Now, the restaurants may not sound too exotic, and they were not, but the setting some restaurants had was great.

So really the style of food and dining is important everyone, and if you are in a place that distinguishes that style you are in good shape.
