Screen on the Green, Washington DC

Every year, Washington, DC hosts an event called Screen on the Green. Every Mondays for four straight weeks, they put up a big projector right by the Capitol and show selected classic movies. It’s fun to be sitting out under the stars watching these old time classics with the Capitol and the National Monument as your backdrop.

And every year, Blair and I would try to make it to one of the films. This year, we decided to see the finale show, Casablanca. It was a perfect evening for the movie. We’ve been having a really hot and humid summer, but that night was perfect. There was a nice cool breeze that makes you want to cuddle J I would guess about 3,000 people were at the mall that night to watch Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart say their famous lines.

“Here’s looking at you kid”

“Play it again Sam”

“We will always have Paris”

“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she had to walk into mine”

This is a perfect cap to our summer of fun activities…well, not really, there is still that trip to Mexico…but I’ll save that for the next blog.

Ciao!
