Weekend Getaway

Needed a place to meet up with some cousins where we didn't have to impose on family in the local area. This place was ideal for a much needed getaway as well. General amenities were just enough to keep the fast pace city life back in DC. Pat is an awesome host, the house was extremely clean, and the peaceful atmosphere was absolutely what the doctor ordered...
