I'm back with Part 2 of my recap of my quick trip to Washington, DC. On our second day, we began by walking up the street for breakfast at the Bayou Bakery. I found this place when researching things for our trip...of course my list of restaurants to try far exceed the number of meals we'd eat. That being said, I'm glad we found this little gem. We ended up having it every morning (I tried something new each time).
We went to the Tidal Basin next. Since we didn't rent a car and relied on transit to get us everywhere, we took a metro but still had a decent little piece to walk. Lucky for us because we got to see the First Family on their way to Easter service.
After watching the motorcade, we walked around the Tidal Basin and checked out the Jefferson Memorial, the FDR Memorial and the Martin Luther King, Jr memorial. We were about a week too early to see the famous cherry blossoms. We saw the Lincoln meorial, the WWII memorial, and the Washington monument before taking the metro to the Banana Cafe for lunch.

A somewhat cloudy morning turned into a gorgeously sunny and blue skies afternoon. We walked around and saw the Library of Congress, the Capitol Building, the Supreme Court (from the grounds in front of the Capitol), and then we went and found something else I had found in my research, Blind Whino. It did not disappoint! It used to be a church but now it is home to Blind Whino SW Arts Club that was painted by HENSE and turned into a magnificent piece of art.
We ended up having Five Guys for dinner after searching for an Italian restaurant that Dad and I had when we went to DC five years ago without any success.
