YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHO YOU MIGHT RUN INTO IN D.C.
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) We have been on leave for the past few days visiting my daughter, son-in-law & grandson here in the Nation's Capital.
I stayed at a hotel just a short walk from their house and as my daughter and I were walking this morning through the neighborhood, a lady stepped out onto the sidewalk with her Frenchie.
My daughter said, "that's AOC*!"
So as she and her doggie were walking away, I called out "Hey, AOC!"
She immediately turned around and came back to talk to us. Jennifer asked if she would pose for a picture with me. I posted it on my Facebook page with the caption...
"You just never know who you might run into in D.C."
