Travelzoo is my favorite travel discount website. They send out a Top 20 list every week with the best travel deals around the world. This is how I found my Turkey trip, as well as pretty much every other trip I have been on in the last couple years. This month a featured deal was a weekend stay near Potomac, MD at the Bolger Center, a most unusual building that formerly served as the Post Office Training Center. We stayed in a nice room, with an amazing breakfast, shuttle to the metro, and other perks for a mere $49/night. Since reading The Lost Symbol, I thought it would be fun to do a tour of the sights in the book. Unfortunately, the weekend we choose to go, it poured down the rain. This led to a soaking wet visit (that really let us try out our new coats we bought the day before at the Hagerstown outlets). We managed to visit the art museum, the capitol (no one allowed inside!!), the botanical garden, and the white house museum. We then spent two hours-I joke not-looking for the Old Post Office so we could eat at our favorite gyro cafe. Despite the rain, we had a really fun visit, and even made it to Baltimore to visit with Anica, touring the amazing Walters Art Museum (I recommend this to everyone--it totally kicks the Smithsonian's butt). My only regret is not crashing the Bar Mitzvah being held in the hotel...

There was a Bar Mitzvah in your hotel? Hello? Why didn't you tell me? I was in chorus and know all of the Hanukkah songs. We could have totally blended in with those kids!
We could have made flashcards like we did that one time we went up to the U to meet dudes. Except these ones would say things like:
Hanukkah is here! Let the dreidel spin!
Who's in the mood for a Briss?
Hava Nagilah! Hava neranenah!
Ashkenazis in the house say Yeah! Sephardics in the house say What! Mizrahis in the house say Don't Stop!
yeah, it was one wild party too. how old are kids for bar mitzvahs? you'd think it was at least 21 after what we saw...
13. Is it bad to envy them for getting such a cool rite of passage? We got medallions for finishing our Personal Progress stuff. It hardly compares.
