Shortly after our year here began--during the holiday season--we took a stroll through nearby Georgetown.
The day was especially cold, but we still enjoyed some sights.
We stumbled across a one-day pop-up store in the center of Georgetown.
We passed by the Brooks Brothers store and admired their window display. Susan coveted the Golden Fleece ornaments and thought one would look good on our Christmas tree. Susan ventured inside and learned the ornaments weren't for sale. In fact, the window display is safeguarded and has to be returned to Brooks Brothers' main warehouse at the end of the season, where each ornament is counted. Sadly, our Christmas tree was fleece free.
(Good news, we recently found a Golden Fleece ornament online. You can check it out here. Perhaps, if you are good, one will find its way into your stocking.)
Our strolled continued. Because it was so cold, we sought shelter in the Four Seasons Hotel. There, we discovered something that warmed our hearts. Local artists had collaborated to create exotic Christmas trees. The trees were for sale and the money went to a worthwhile cause, the children's hospital. You can see a couple of the trees below.
The Golden Fleece ornament would have been a great addition to either tree.
Thanks for strolling with us.
