So the trip to the land of my people…pretty good. The boys were pretty well-behaved and we had a kick ass room. Best part of the top floor room was the view through the classic oval windows. Dude, you have to love historical architectural details like oval windows. Man, it was awesome to pick out our room from the street.

The only thing about oval windows, though (other than framing the view quite beautifully) is no off the rack blinds or cellular shades. You’re going to be totally out of luck at the Home Depot…oval windows mean custom window treatments all the way.
