Washington DC Pics

Decided to take the Metro into Washington DC. I saw the National Museum of African American History and Culture. I spent close to three hours inside but that wasn't nearly enough time so a future return trip is necessary.

I walked to the business district where I worked for a time in the mid '80's to mid '90's, had a late lunch at The Bottom Line, my go to spot. Still the best burger in DC. After that I decided to walk into Georgetown. It has been a little over ten years since I was last there. Along the way I remembered the bars frequented, the concerts at The Bayou, celebrating the Redskins Super Bowl wins and the record stores I shopped at.

Fun day. I got a lot of steps in and apologies to my seat mate on the Silver line Metro headed back to Virginia as I dozed off and probably snored. Tired, but love venturing into DC.

 

LIV Golf - Virginia

LIV Golf - Virginia

Sterling, VA

This event was nearby so I decided to spend a couple days walking the golf course. I wish I could have brought my Nikon D5 into the event but camera's with detachable lenses were not allowed. Since there wasn't any parking near the course and I had to ride a shuttle in, I did not want to chance it and get turned away. So I did the best I could with the Android camera on my phone.

I followed Bryson DeChambeau and got a lot of shots of him as well as other players plus I got some shots of the golf course. There are issues with Blogger preventing me from uploading photos in order but I was able to sort them by day. As always for a larger version of the photo just click it.

LIV Golf has been around since 2022 and it appears as this may be the last year of the tour. You can look up the reasons why as I won't go into it here but it was summed up nicely here in an X (Formerly Twitter) post from radio host Steve Czaban. 

"My net-net from LIV Golf Virginia was simple: as a golf nerd, it was great! But alas… one could sense the end of the road looming. If you love golf, get it now before it’s gone. The Kemper Open ain’t walking through that door anytime soon!"
