Metro Journey #4

This journey was a lot of fun, though a bit of an emergency happened (everyone's fine). This was a GPS free Georgetown journey.  We had to draw maps freehand (mine was horrible so we didn't use it, but some other people had really good maps that were way more reliable, so we used those). 

We started the journey by getting on a bus to get to our first stop, Safeway. Some grabbed something to eat. 

Next we walked over to Guy Mason Recreation Center, which had an awesome playground. 


On the way there, we saw Pearson's Wine and Liquor, a well, wine and liquor shop. 

Next stop was the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and  Collection.  Which is an "institute of Harvard University dedicated to supporting scholarship internationally in Byzantine, Garden and Landscape, and Pre-Columbian studies through fellowships, meetings, exhibitions, and publications."


After a short stop here, we walked to the Alexander Graham Bell Association, which took a minute to figure out if we were going in or not, but we decided to get a group picture in front of the building. 













Next up was Café Bonaparte, a French café. 



We went to one of our stops, Jean Pierre Antiques. An antique shop...obviously. I keep stating the obvious. 


After, we went to our first Kennedy house of the day (we went to two). 

A really cool stop was the Old Stone House. We went into the place and looked around for a while. It was fun. 
Next up, the C&O Canal (Chesapeake and Ohio Canal). Here's an excerpt from the website.
"Preserving America's early transportation history, the C&O Canal began as a dream of passage to Western wealth. Operating for nearly 100 years the canal was a lifeline for communities along the Potomac River as coal, lumber and agricultural products floated down the waterway to market. Today it endures as a pathway for discovering historical, natural and recreational treasures!"

We headed to a very well known hotel...The Ritz-Carlton

There were so many stops on this trip, my legs were starting to hurt around here, yet we had places left to go. 

I was personally excited to head to our next stop, since I'm a bit of a fashion lover...


 
I also liked our next stop, since I'm a fan of the show...

Georgetown Cupcake! I love the show DC Cupcakes, so this was cool. I didn't get any cupcakes though, the line was super long :(

Another awesome stop was the Exorcist Steps! 

The stairs are almost kind of scary to walk up!

I most likely forgot some things but this journey had so many locations to hit. This week's journey was most definitely an adventure. I hope you'll come back next time! Byeeee :D.
