Belated 49th Anniversary

We took a 10K walk through the historic African-American neighborhood of Adams-Morgan. This is the birthplace of Duke Ellington and where many early black musicians performed for black audiences. This statue is in tribute to African-American Civil War veterans.

And this is just a fun piece crawling on a store wall.

We feasted on a wonderful belated anniversary dinner. Cheryl and Dave’s friend Jeff had recommended 1789 Restaurant when we were here for Valentine’s Day a few years ago. The restaurant defines itself as “the quintessential DC dining experience.” There are six dining rooms in a centuries-old Federal house. We were delighted with a personalize menu congratulating us on our anniversary. We shared an apple pecan salad. Jerry had Point Pleasant, NJ, Diver scallops and Anna Lee had lamb shoulder cooked with hay and lavender. Our shared 1789 Chocolate Coin dessert of whiskey, chocolate and caramel mousse, whiskey dark chocolate ice cream and a gold and chocolate coin was scrumptious. With no photos to show how good the service, food and ambiance were, please trust our rating of 5 stars on this lovely evening. As stated, our celebration was delayed five days so the souvenir menu has the wrong date but the right sentiment
