From Georgetown's campus, we wandered thru the streets to the downtown and found an awesome indoor bocce ball bowling alley / restaurant. After recharging, we took a city bus up to the highest point in DC where the National Cathedral sits.
JP and I had a blast. GP didn't like how tall and high everything was; he didn't want to look out the windows of the tower we ascended.
Except for some 8th grade school groups, the church was empty. I would love to attend a service there.
As usual, we ended our visit via the gift shop. They didn't have any shot glasses, but we did find a fun fridge magnet that lists the Top 10 Reasons for Being an Episcopalian:
10. No snake handling.
9. You can believe in dinosaurs.
8. Male and female God created them; male and female we ordain them.
7. You don't have to check your brains at the door.
6. Pew aerobics.
5. Church year is color-coded.
4. Free wine on Sunday.
3. All of the pageantry - none of the guilt.
2. You don't have to know how to swim to get baptized.
1. No matter what you believe, there's bound to be at least one other Episcopalian who agrees with you.
