The View from the Top....

so we finally got a chance to get on the roof and take a look at the view.  since we're just off of north capitol street in DC [which runs straight down to the Capitol, about 1.5 miles away] I was thinking we'd be able to see the Senators walking around down there through the windows [with binoculars, of course]

ummmmm, not quite.

the houses across from us are about 12 feet higher, so it doesnt allow for us to see much beyond our block. and there is definitely no view of the Capitol.

BUT: come July 4th, there will be a GREAT view of the DC fireworks show....as well as the "local" fireworks shows that go off simultaneously in the neighborhoods east of 14th street [INCOMING!]

so...the roof deck will be built, and we will enjoy what view we do have...which, in my opinion, is pretty good!  there are plenty of people who have nothing but a brick wall to look out at, so I'm feeling pretty good about our situation.

can't wait to crack open a brew and soak it all in.
