A Rainy Weekend In Washington Can Be Romantic




The autumn months are a wonderful time to spend a weekend in DC.  Hotel prices are more affordable and the museums are less hectic.  We're here on a rainy weekend, which will find many of the museums next to empty because Washington goes into a hibernation panic at the smallest sign of weather.  Better for the weekend visitor.  The Amtrak Business Class was comfortable and uncrowded, while coach was packed.  Business Class is well worth the additional funds.  Will go to a production of "The Alchemist" while here.  For surface travelers we recommend the Phoenix Park Hotel, 520 North Capitol St, (202)393-3236.  Hotels.com will give you a great internet rate. Visit their Irish Dubliner Pub for traditional music and ales.  More to come...
