We received a locals' introduction to Washington DC, with Mike and Sara Kruger showing us the best of their city. We'd first met the Krugers in our early days in London and really enjoyed catching up with them five years later on their home turf.Our DC tour included plenty of interesting history, a visit to local markets, the Peep Show - where fluffy marshmallow bunnies and chickens featured in all sorts of creative scenes, strolling in red-brick Williamstown, mouthwatering BBQ at Hill Country, and the best Red Velvet cupcake we've ever eaten.
When Monday sent Mike and Sara back to work, Michael and I explored the more typical DC sights - the Jefferson Library, the Capitol Building, the National Archives, the Monument Walk along the Mall and the collection of famous planes, rockets and satellites at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Early summer weather encouraged us to walk everywhere and we were left with a favourable impression of DC.
