Georgetown, DC

We spent the day in Georgetown, DC.  Our first stop was the cleverly named Old Stone House. It was first built in 1766 and is the oldest structure on its original foundation in DC.  With the several times DC has been burned, this is a rather impressive feat.  The house is not all that special, other than it's ability to stay standing.  It was used as a clock and watch shop, a home, and lastly a car dealership before the National Park service purchased the house and lot in 1953. Next we walked through the fancy townhomes of Georgetown on our way to the Dumbarton House.  This house was built between 1790 and 1820 with the typical Maryland Georgian-style architecture with red brick and white trim.  The museum has a collection of Federal period furniture and decorative arts.  We had a rather fast pass through the house as we were on the quest for the bathroom, which was a very nice bathroom. There was a nice little garden that the kids loved running around the circular paths.  We found a townhouse that had a collection of pig figurines that would almost rival Demetria's collection.
