Mother and Daughter Time - International Women's Day #Internationalwomensday #motheranddaughter #Clydes #CBDpartners

What is a better way for a mother and daughter to spend International's Women's Day then a day filled with shopping and eating.

It was a beautiful warm day in Washington, DC to head downtown.  We walked from the Apple Store, to the Tesla Store, and to Macy's taking pictures, dreaming, and shopping  (Macy's).  Always up for new adventures, we searched for a new restaurant to experience.  However, everything was either boring or too expensive.  So, we selected our favorite restaurant downtown - Clydes.

Like always, we were seated immediately.  Our seats faced the main street on the 2nd floor.  The waitress gave us our menus.  It was interested.  Although it was early afternoon, the menu was a breakfast/brunch menu.  We had never been there during this period of time.

As we reviewed the menu, the waitress offered to bring us warm coffee cake.  Although our hips would be mad, we looked forward to tasting the coffee cake.  We ordered our food - steak tacos for appetizer to share, crab meal for daughter and bacon cheese burger for me.  We waited and waited, no coffee cake.  We finally asked the waitress.  She informed us, that due to the late hour, the chef would not be preparing any more.  We were disappointed.  She offered to bring us fresh bread instead.  We agreed.  The bread was good but nothing like the anticipated  coffee cake.  How can you compare warm coffee cake to warm bread?

Our food arrived looking delicious.  We planned to have a peaceful meal talking and planning business strategies for my hemp and CBD business  https://www.MDCLifeStyle.com/arlenerjohnson.

It was not to be.  Outside our window, on the main sidewalk, were several kids rapping and playing music with a speaker.  They were hustling trying to make some money from the tourist walking by.  With every bite, we heard.....BOOM, BOOM from the bass and repeated over and over again, Funky me, Funky me with the high pitch voice of a child.  Unfortunately the words sound like something else.  Something no child should be saying anywhere.

This was disturbing to us.  We ate our appetizer and took the rest of our food to go.  When we got outside, the kid continued to rap.  He appeared to be around 10 to 12 years of age.  He was surrounded by other kids and older boys in their late teens or early twenties.  Sadly, we did not see anybody in sight that looked like a parent.
