Tonight we went to Washingtonian magazine’s celebration of their “Best of” issue. Contrary to popular belief, I did not choose to attend solely because there were free Georgetown Cupcakes. No, I went because there were free cupcakes, gelato samples and wine.
Washingtonian isn’t even considered to be the hippest resource for unearthing local hotspots, but flipping through the pages, I confirmed that I was back in a place where there is not just a little teeny bit going on. There is, in fact, a whole huge amount of interestingness. I also realized that when I say, “There’s tons to do in Chapel Hill. I love living in a college town!” what I really mean is, “There’s tons to do in Chapel Hill…as compared to Alaska.”
Harold has been taking full advantage of the sights. He and a bunch of families with dorky history nerd children (perhaps from Connecticut, or Pennsylvania) dragged themselves through the heat this week to explore every tour possible. We literally have 40 pamphlets stacked up on the table., and I learn a fun fact about our country each day. Given his growing knowledge, Harold is considering leading some sort of Segway excursion around the monuments as his next career move.
Me? I’ll stick to the events with baked goods.
