I walked around the Tidal Basin, had breakfast at IHOP and did my grocery shopping, all before ten am.

 

That’s nuts.  Except I always do seem to enjoy the occasional dawn jaunt.  Watching the sun rise from a lovely spot is just special enough to thrill.  Also, the cherry blossoms make people a little mob-like, and it’s nice to see the trees before the hoards arrive.

 

Plus, I have the whole rest of the day to fill with my weekend chores - and probably a good afternoon nap.
