We were thrilled to hear Roll Call’s Jason Dick and National Journal’s Fawn Johnson got engaged this week at The Inn At Little Washington, and immediately asked for more details. Jason gave us the scoop:

“We went to the Inn knowing we would get engaged, but not the hows and whens. After we checked in, we went for a walk and found a pathway around the Inn’s sheep pasture. That’s where we met Francesca and the other llama herder, Jonah. They didn’t look terribly amused with us, but tolerated a romantic moment nonetheless. When we spotted the Shiny Happy Tree a little further down the trail, I figured it was the perfect spot. The tree is made of mirrors and glass and was given to Patrick O’Connell, the Inn’s owner and chef, by the Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.

“What can I say? I love it when a plan comes together, especially when it involves llamas, outsider art and great food. “

Congratulations guys!
