On the way home from tomato plant shopping (which by the way, are not available yet!), we took a different route home. Because it is a Friday afternoon, EVERYONE is heading away from town and the traffic can be more awful than usual. We used to drive here from the Midwest and arrived on Thursday or Friday during rush hour. It would take a really long time to get off I-495 and on to the George Washington Parkway to Capitol Hill. Rather than taking the usual and quite scenic Rock Creek Parkway today, we decided to take River Road to Wisconsin Avenue, then straight down Massachusetts Avenue. It was such a beautiful day today, we opened the moon roof right at the time we were passing by the National Cathedral. The blue sky and puffy clouds became the backdrop for a few interesting spires and steeples along the way.
