Off the Record

BMac and Mike
Laurie and Gretchen

After our White House tour, we strolled across the park to Off the Record, a quaint bar in the basement of the Hay-Adams Hotel to wait out the rain. It was raining so hard, and there was so much water on the bricks in the park, that I actually went barefoot through the park in the rain. Sounds like an ol' Sinatra tune, eh? We had dinner and drinks with Brian and my friend, Gretchen, who recently moved back to DC. Gretchen and I have known each other since Sixth Grade, and I had not seen her since our wedding. It was very fun to spend the evening catching up with her. (And I think she was happy to be there: her children were in bed and her husband was trying to deal with a flooding issue in their basement.)
