Zeke and Terri Go to Washington! (Days 0-2: US Capitol, US Botanic Garden, DC living)

We are in Washington DC house and pet sitting for one of Terri's childhood friends (going way back to elementary school) and exploring our nation's capitol while we are here. We said goodbye to Good Boy George (our empty nest puppy) and flew from SFO-DCA and kicked off our trip with a tour of the US Capitol Building and the US Botanic Garden. We are digging DC living and having so much right outside our front door. The dog (Charlie) and cat (Toby) are really easy and the place we are staying at is very comfortable.

Next up: the African American Museum and the Renwick Museum.
