The weekend finally arrived and all I had planned was to find some great produce at the farmers market. The Botanical Gardens DC (United States Botanic Garden) and stopping for pizza were an unexpected twist. I really wasn’t expecting to blog about the day, but it was too cool to not share. We knew we […]

Museum of the Bible, Food, and Our First Visitors
Our friends, Brittany & Joseph, came into town a few weeks ago and we had a blast doing some DC stuff with them. While we did quite a few things that weekend, from walking the National Mall to trying to go to Ford’s Theater (We only were able to tour the museum across the street, […]

Saturdays in DC: National Portrait Gallery and Coffee
Saturdays have turned into our exploration days in DC. We tend to start each one in our neighborhood: NoMa, just meandering while walking Kona. We always end up at the National Mall. We have really tried to spend these long walks getting used to the National Mall so when people visit us we seem super […]

DC, Spring, Museums Oh My
I feel like no matter how much we see in DC, we still have barely scratched the surface. I am so glad it is finally feeling warmer here, however, it seems to be warming up quicker than I would like. Soon it will be so hot that we will have to make sure our “adventures” […]

First Week In DC
Our physical move to DC is finally over. And I say finally, as it seemed to drag on for a while. As thankful as we were for the lack of vehicle issues, or lack of broken items, our move was not without its own stress. Dustin arrived 3 weeks ahead of us (myself and our […]

1 Hour as a Tourist
A last minute trip to Waxahachie, TX came up at the end of April. While we were there for an unplanned family event, we took our #3 and my sister (Emily) to the downtown area for a little over an hour to walk around. The weekend was an emotional one, and our #3 had been […]

22 Hours in Memphis
This past weekend I went with my friend Brittany to go see “The Sound of Music” in Memphis. It really was a whirlwind trip. We arrived Saturday afternoon, to have just enough time to get ready and head to the Orpheum Theatre for the show. It was really cold and overcast the majority of the […]

Weekend Fun
Last weekend we, as a party of 3, decided the weather was too nice to stay indoors. We jumped in the car and headed for the River Market area of downtown. No plan (which drove our #3 CRAZY), just a few ideas. While Dustin and I did a “tour” of downtown on the blog before, […]
