City views

I was lucky enough to snag some tickets to the opening reception for the Citi Open (formerly Legg Mason Classic) - a DC tennis tournament that's part of the US Open circuit. Basically, it's kind of a big deal.

The reception took place on the rooftop of the W Hotel downtown and there was the promise that we could "mingle with players." Unfortunately most of the big names are currently away at the Olympics, and while I kind-of-sort-of recognized a few people, I didn't actually meet anyone, even with my extrovert roommate Mary in tow. We still got to enjoy some awesome views of the city while sipping on some free drinks, so the evening wasn't a total bust.

That's the White House between our heads. (For the record, I'm not short. Mary's just really tall.)

This one's a little blurry, but you can see the Jefferson Memorial in the background. 

The Treasury Department with the White House behind it.
