A 65th birthday comes but once, and after two years of the pandemic sequestering us apart from one another it was the perfect time to gather our loved ones to celebrate. When our first host canceled just three days before our vacation, it proved to be a blessing. The home on Independence Avenue with five bedrooms and so many amenities allowed us to enjoy togetherness and privacy. The kitchen is where we gathered around the charcuterie of Eastern Market and Trader Joe’s. The big table is where we played board games. We all slept well, enjoyed wonderful showers, and appreciated the laundry. This DC home was close to everything on our itinerary in DC. by foot or Uber. We were very fortunate, and thank you!
