d.c.

Back to the blog.  I'll have to do some catch up.  But better late than never.  Since the last post, Eric and I have moved to Columbus, I have found a second grade teaching job, and we have been back and forth visiting family in the Midwest three times.  Over time you will get the deets. For now here is a recap of our trip to the DC area to see my brother and his family.  I love the DC area and it was so wonderful to get to spend some long overdue time with the fam.  

Baseball Practice. Coach never showed up so the dads took over the control.  It was pretty fantastic. 

We ate a restaurant called Good Stuff Eatery.  Let's just say that it was good stuff.  It was all gourmet burgers and delicious fries.  The restaurant is one of Spike Mendelsohn's (who was on top chef).  It was a fun experience and fantastic food.  

  

We visited and ate dinner at the national harbor.  It was the perfect evening.  At sunset we took a glass elevator to the top of a fancy shmanz hotel to watch the sun go down.  

My nephews are growing a garden as a little family project.  It is extremely impressive, especially considering I have the inability to keep potted plants alive.  They were so excited to show it to us, especially because they received the metal flower (for the best and most well-kept garden).

Finally...my brother kindly took us to Georgetown Cupcake.  For those of you who are not in on the cupcake scene, this is the home of the show D.C. Cupcake.  The plan was to go to the store, eat a delicious cupcake, and then be discovered by tlc and become famous.  However, this ridiculous line prevented the dreams from coming true.  I even looked in the window to see if the sisters were there baking away, they were not!  Oh well.
