Suite Sensations

Those of you who know me know that Im a sucker for a good Hotel. 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, turndown service and down pillows make all the difference to me when it comes to spending the night elsewhere. In a last minute debacle I snagged a hot ticket to This Event in Washington last weekend and I called my personal travel concierge to make something happen. Lucky for me, my personal travel concierge was free and decided to accompany me, so off we were to DC for a fantastic weekend at my new favorite DC hotel, The Mayflower. It’s so totally your fabulous socialite grandmother’s hotel, but who doesn’t enjoy a nice wall sconce and paneling every once and a while, even if they are a bit dated and Miss Havershamish? We both snagged huge suites and I loved every minute I spent in it.

We decided to check out the Smithsonian’s newish Udvar-Hazy Center waaaaay out by Dulles Airport on Saturday. The drive was hell but the place was amazing.



I’d also like to thank THIS GUY for putting up with our social antics. He was a gracious tour guide and im glad to have finally met him.

It was great meeting you and the concierge. After entertaining a certain Snugfit person in Williamsburg, I just have one more weekend of entertaining guests flying to our nation's capital.

As for the Williamsburg trip, I was amazed that it was me causing trouble and not SF, Not my fault a married woman wanted to have an affair right in front of her husband. She only excited more when I told her I was gay. As she switched her dancing partner to SF she wanted him also. However, he was always answering his phone for the love of his life in Hawaii, so, she could not get what she wanted. Earlier in the evening, I engaged two couples in a discussion about the decline of Western Civilization that I thought was quite entertaining. The staff thought it was great.
