The Society of the Cincinnati on Massachusetts Avenue

I varied my route today. I bet you cannot guess the name of the oldest patriotic organization?

From their Web site: "The Society of the Cincinnati is the nation's oldest patriotic organization, founded in 1783 by officers of the Continental Army and their French counterparts who served together in the American Revolution. Its mission is to promote knowledge and appreciation of the achievement of American independence and to foster fellowship among its members. Now a nonprofit educational organization devoted to the principles and ideals of its founders, the modern Society maintains its headquarters, library, and museum at Anderson House in Washington, D.C."

Gorgeous Weather and Scenery on Massachusetts Avenue

This morning, it was 55 degrees out--fantastic fall weather! On my way home, it was high 60s--delightful. I took a different route home; I ran Mass Ave from downtown to Glover Park (2 miles). According to RunKeeper, this route is more hilly than going through Georgetown. I believe it and felt it.

Morning run with the boys!
