Washington Rediscovered Year 7

We've been back from Saudi Arabia for six years now, so perhaps "Rediscovering Washington" doesn't seem quite accurate, but although we've owned a house here since early 1988, we haven't spent much time living in it, so I'd have to say I'm still discovering the many things this city has to offer.
