Congressional Cemetery? Dog Park? We kept hearing about it, but never checked it out.  Thought it was quite odd, but, this is DC, right?  Well, yesterday we made the short 1 mile trip over to get the scoop. Lo and behold, there it was, a HUGE cemetery filled with dogs running around, although, as the sign implied, this is not a public dog park.  This little rule didn't stop Kelly and I from giving it a try before we even considered a "membership." Luna had a blast, she met so many new dogs and we got to let her run around without worrying about her running into traffic. To be able to walk your dog at the cemetery, the group asks for a yearly donation (about $150) to help with the up keep the historic grounds, which is a pretty neat place. I figure the people who run the cemetery would rather prefer it is filled with dogs than drug dealers, which it was before it became a place for dogs. Although, it was a bit strange to watch Luna poop right to next to a tombstone from 1864.  

So, we're currently sitting in the theater at gallery place waiting for black snake moan to start. On our way here we were accosted by a viking handing out hand sannitizer on the corner near Chinatown. Don't be frightened for us, it was a marketing stunt for The History Channel's new Viking special which airs tonight at 9 pm. Pretty cool if you ask me.
