Reagan National in DC is very patriotic, as expected.
Not that I’ve hung around urinals that much (I think I’ve actually seen one once), but these sinks at O’Hare look like they’re styled after urinals.
Pretty early morning photo of planes at O’Hare.
When did they start handing out coupons in-flight? Got this on my way to Newark.
For the record, I’d rather just wait for my bags, thanks.

This week in Washington DC the weather was fabulous. Sunny and in the high 60s/low 70s. On Wednesday Kelly and I took Tessa for a long walk around the Tidal Basin where the cherry blossoms are all in bloom and everyone is celebrating the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

My last week of leisure. For quite a while I’ve been spending my days going to the gym, lunching, exploring neighborhoods, working on Chicagoist, going to museums, cooking, hanging out in coffee shops with wifi access: taking it easy. Today I’m going out to Virginia/DC to visit Kelly, Jeff and Tessa. Kelly is my fellow “woman of leisure” right now while she’s on maternity leave.
Next week my current lifestyle is going to change bigtime when I start my new job at FeedBurner. I think it’s right about time. It will be good to be productive again and I’m really excited to be a part of such an exciting company. I know there’s a lot to learn and I have a lot to contribute as the position will be a little writing, a little design, a little front-end development and in the blogging industry – it’s like a perfect blend of everything I’ve been doing in the past 6 years. And everyone I’ve met there seems really terrific. Seems to be a really great team and a great environment. I’m psyched!

After visiting the World War II Monument, Kelly and Jeff and I walked over to the National Museum of the American Indian, a museum that just opened a little over a year ago. Everything is so new there and I really liked the exhibits and how they incorporated video. Also, the restaurant there was pretty cool because it featured Native foods found throughout the Western Hemisphere.
After the museum we grabbed some dinner at a Thai restaurant near DuPont Circle. We finished off the night by seeing a Keegan Theatre production of A Streetcar Named Desire at the Church Street Theater.

Last Thanksgiving when I was in Virginia we went to Great Falls and we also went to Georgetown. We didn’t really spend any time around the National Mall so I didn’t see the World War II Memorial that opened last year. I think when I was in town earlier this year for a wedding I may have gotten a brief glance at it, but nothing for very long, so Kelly & Jeff took me to see it this past weekend. It’s kind of strange to see something between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, but the monument itself is really cool. We took our time and walked around it taking in the beauty of the sculptures as well as the warm autumn sun.
