Having watched the characters of Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, and Cranford,ceaselessly gobbling scones and downing gallons of tea, I fancied myself a cup in town. I wanted a "proper" tea time with all the proper accoutrements. So off to The Greenhouse at the Jefferson hotel we went! The earl gray was the best I've had, the scones light and fluffy so unlike the ones I'm used to, and the cherry preserves to die for. And to boot I made Sean put on a proper suit so I could live out my British period drama fantasy!
On the drive back we popped off the GW parkway to enjoy a stunning sunset over the Potomac. The perfect end to a fabulous afternoon tea.
