Random cool stuff you find in Washington DC

I was early for a job interview and discovered this historic house.
It is called "the Octogon" and was built in the late 1700s. It is
where President and Mrs. Madison lived after the burning of the White
House during the war of 1812.

The Treaty of Ghent was ratified here.


I love my city.

    And was the treaty examined in the Peer Ghent Suite? Seriously, though, you do live in an awesome city. Ginj loves it, too.

    I like DC a lot. I enjoyed my internship there, and subsequent visits. I don't even mind the humidity.

    I love it every time I get to DC. Which isn't often enough.

    What a beautiful building.

    DSK#2 will get to go there on a school trip for a week this June. I'm so envious.

Because of a recent ton of spam and weird insulting comments from a brand-new poster, I'm putting in comment moderation for a bit. I'm planning to do comment moderation "Ms. Kitty Style," as in, with a very light touch and kicking only off-topic and unreasonably insulting posts.
