Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2003. Mattie was ten months old and was exploring his new toy..... a table which played all sorts of music. I think Mattie's facial expression says it all! He was just not sure why this table was making all this noise. So he was curious and yet cautious!

To celebrate my friend Ann's birthday today, myself and another friend went to the Park Hyatt in DC for high tea. To me tea should be a special experience. This is the second high tea I have had in DC (at different locations). Each venue really do host this event quite differently. The Park Hyatt is lovely because it is smoothing, they don't rush you at all, and there is a lot of space between tables.

However, I would say there were aspects of the tea that I did not like. Such as the presentation of the food, the ordinal china, and NO scones and clotted cream. That to me is the beauty of high tea.
I have noticed now that high tea is served like this... with little warmers that actually do keep your tea hot. That is quite lovely and I experienced a special citrus oolong tea today. Needless to say, it is a special thing to do in the winter time, when you feel like you are climbing the walls doing the same old thing inside.
There are a handful of places in DC that host high tea, and I have gone to two on the top ten list so far. I feel like I am on my way to writing a guide book on tea in our region.... including 'the must experience' and the 'forget about its!'
