First laundry, then grocery store and we scope out next cruising step before we take off on the bikes for the Smithsonian. It has cooled off (it is only in the 80’s) and this day was full of surprises and was a wonderful way to end our stay in DC. You could really spend a week a year for your entire life and not do the museums, memorials, government bldgs., justice. The Smithsonian for the day was American History—it got voted down 25 years ago when we were here and I was determined to see the inaugural dresses of the first ladies. Then we were biking back towards the waterfront and in front of the National Gallery Sculpture Gardens they were gearing up for an evening of jazz. A lot of people young and old were gathering around the pond some with their feet in the water listening to the likes of Santana and Soul. It was a fabulous way to spend an evening-- watching people (I would guess 80% were residents of DC at least for the summer) with Sangria in hand. We had to drag ourselves out of there but then we rode back along the waterfront to the boat to get ready to leave out. Today we traveled 60 miles back down the Potomac and we have a lovely anchorage in Bushwood Wharf up the Wicomico River next to a Gold Looper (they have completed the loop ) if it is good enough for them…
