Lordy, where did you stay, the Harrington?
My wife and our two daughters were with us from SF, and my cousin and her husband joined us from Philly. Next day we went to Georgetown and the difference was startling, like day and night (all whites well to do and students). Very pleasant there and nice restaurants and stores. We took the subway from there and could see the change of passenger types when we got to the DC downtown area to visit attractions.
