I Heart D.C. #2

I wanted to post all of the things I was going to miss about working in D.C. before my office moved but I just got too busy with the merger. So, now that I am far away from the action, I really miss D.C.

One of the things I loved about D.C. was that each morning as I came up the escalator from the metro, I would see this flower cart. I loved the fact that everyday there were new beautiful flowers. One evening I need to take some flowers to a friend and I had no idea how I was going to get to the store and get to see my friend. It didn't take me long to remember that I had my own flower cart just outside my office.

Love the street carts. Some are scary but some are really yummy.

From my old office window, I could see Farragut Square. Wikipedia says that, "In the center of the square is a statue of David Farragut, a Union admiral in the American Civil War famous for rallying his fleet with the cry, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" He was the "First Admiral in the Navy." Its only inscription is "Farragut" The Statue was sponsored by an act of Congress, authorizing $20,000 on April 16, 1872. It was sculpted by Vinnie (ream) Hoxie and dedicated April 25, 1881 by President and Mrs. James Garfield."

I loved working in D.C. and hopefully someday my office will move back.
