Our 7th Anniversary

To celebrate the 7 years of our marriage we booked a night at a downtown hotel. Eric made the reservation at the Marriot using his points he earned while living here in the hotel early last year. We get there and are checking in when the guy at the desk tells us that we don't have a reservation for that night, but that we had one for the previous Wednesday but it was canceled due to no-show. Eric botched the reservation.

So then we are on the phone to the Marriot people and they book us a room at another Marriot hotel about a mile away from where we were. Turns out, we ended up at The Mayflower, the hotel that hosts the Inagural Ball every year. It was old, ornate and seriously beautiful! We lucked out!

We spent the afternoon/evening strolling around Georgetown and going in and out of shops. We ate when we were hungry and went where we wanted. We had no agenda, no time-table, no plan. It was FABULOUS!! Just what we needed.
