National Christmas Tree

This evening we went downtown to see the National Christmas Tree. I haven’t done that in probably 20 years! The tree was beautiful. It was a little chilly but worth it to see it this year. We also walked a few blocks to the White House to see how it was decorated.

On the way home we walked by the National Cathedral to see the colorful projections on the building. It was beautiful!

Joy of Christmas Concert

This afternoon we went to the National Cathedral to hear the Joy of Christmas concert. They didn’t do it in 2020 because of COVID. The last time we went to the concert I had my heart attack. It was nice to be back there without that happening. The music was beautiful and perfect for the Christmas season. After the concert we went out to dinner and then walked around the neighborhood to see the Christmas lights. It was a wonderful evening.

Happy Halloween

We would normally have a Halloween Party with lots of friends, food, wine and fun. But thanks to COVID we had to cancel the party this year. Instead, my husband put on his costume and we went walking around the neighborhood to see the decorations. I did carve a pumpkin though. Here are some pictures from the evening. It was fun but I didn’t dress up.

Skyline Drive

Today we drove to Front Royal, Virginia to visit a winery and to drive on the Skyline Drive to see the fall leaves. The weather was beautiful and it being a Friday there weren’t too many people along the way.

We started at the winery. We did a tasting flight and then enjoyed some lunch nibbles with a bottle of wine. It was so restful. The views were gorgeous.

Then we drove along the Skyline Drive and got to see some beautiful color. We stopped at several points to take in the views.

Lunch in the Bishop’s Garden

It was a beautiful day today. We decided to walk up to the National Cathedral and have lunch at the Bishop’s Garden. It was beautiful as usual. We were able to go inside the cathedral as well. It’s been closed for awhile because of COVID. Not sure why they had it open today. Anyway, I took a beautiful picture of the sun shining through the stained glass windows. Gorgeous!
