There's no place like a good hotel

A quick note from the road....

I'm in Rosslyn, VA, attending a 2-day cutting class at the famed Graham Webb Academy. If I could, I'd do school all over again just to attend the Academy. Really. Kids who go here for their cosmetology license come out with skills that rival experienced hairdressers. They didn't have schools like this back in the day. I took Classic Cutting 1 two years ago and I'm back for part 2. My friend Kit offered to share a hotel with me, just for the fun of it. We're staying at a fabulous boutique hotel, The Hotel Palomar, and if I could, I'd move in. I really would. Did I mention the bathroom is stocked with Aveda products? That won me over from first glance. Rosslyn is only about 45 minutes from where I live, but it's so nice to walk to class and not bother with traffic. This hotel is visually beautiful. They have a nightly wine reception, complementary. With hor dourves. Here's some pictures of the room, and the view from the outdoor terrace.

That's Georgetown in the distance

The Washington Monument

My class was about a 2 minute walk from the hotel. There were 28 students. Here's a few pictures.

I brought my 'girl' back to the hotel to blow dry her hair. Tomorrow we'll do a different cut on our 'models'. Kit will take the Metro to her job while I'm at school. We'll go home when we're both done. In the meantime, the wine reception is about to start, so, I have to go. It's a rough life.
