Friday we headed to the GD Box at Fed Ex Field for the Redskins pre-season game against the Patriots. It was great fun to visit with Josh's co-workers and their wives. We all have such a nice time together, we decided to make plans to all get together on a monthly basis. I also got to visit with my sorority sister Nancy and met her boyfriend. I am excited for them to come to our football party next weekend.
On Saturday we met up with Mike and Lacey to head into the city. We rode the metro in because we didn't know how traffic would be with Ted Kennedy's funeral. Hind site is 20/20, with metro delays we would have been much better off driving. We enjoyed visiting the Smithsonian and seeing the First Ladies Exhibit and Julia Child's Kitchen Bon Appetite! We took advantage of DC's Restaurant Week and visited Chef Goeff's Downtown, which did not disappoint. Since we had metro day passes we decided to go to the Eastern Market. The Farmers Market was fun, we saw lots of interesting things and Josh got his favorite treat, dried mango-yum! Returning home, we were ready to call it a day, when Josh's good friend from his MBA program called to say she was in town on a business trip. We headed up to Bethesda to meet up with Tajma and went out to a Turkish restaurant. We had a great dinner, followed by Turkish coffee. I learned the hard way how important it is to sip Turkish coffee. Ha! We walked around the city, and I loved window shopping-can't wait to go back for some real shopping!
Sunday we slept in and had bagels for brunch, I ran errands and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned!
I found your blog through the comments on Kelly's Corner...email me at honeybeeml@aol.com and I'll add you to the list so you can follow my blog. I put a password on it so the pics of the boys would be safe...I'm a (borderline) overprotective mommy : )
