Get a bottle of wine (don’t forget something to open it with) and hang out at the Jefferson Memorial on one evening, preferably with your sweetheart. Watch the planes. Watch the traffic around the Tidal Basin. Hear the din of the city. Take a moment and read the panels with Jefferson’s writings and then imagine, if you will, how totally revolutionary his ideas were for his time – as axiomatic as they might seem to us today. It’s not so terribly romantic that you can’t have (or be) a third wheel or go with a small, intimate group. It’s just nice, quiet time.
