DC was awesome. You know how some trips just WORK - everything was perfect. From our drive to the airport, plane seats, hotel, gym, food, company ... etc, etc, etc. Capital Steps was as funny of a show as I've ever seen - I laughed the entire night. The Book of Mormon was good -- funny with a social message. The singing and dancing were spot on. Here are a few pictures:

| Waiting for an early dinner. Founding Farmers. |
 |
| Hubby was happy - kennel corn appetizer. Such a good restaurant - we went twice! Next to the popcorn was bacon wrapped, blue cheese stuffed dates. YUM! |
 |
| Hot dog trio. Another hubby favorite. Best scotch honey carrots too. Founding Farmers in DC - a must do restaurant. |
 |
| Surprise carnations. Hubby's "signature" flower. Why? Cheap, last forever and come in every color. As soon as I saw them, I knew they were from him. Also a card with a love note - very unlike this unromantic man. It was extra special. |
 |
| NITRO COFFEE ... every day. OMG. It never disappoints. |
We visited the Holocaust Museum. We hadn't been in 15 years or seen the renovations. Sobering and, yet, beautiful as you read about those who stepped forward to save and help.
Also, a quick tour of the engraving building. Money!! You got to see the actual money printing through the entire process. Very interesting.
We also walked and walked and walked to go to the Eastern Market. Food, artists, trendy. It was fun and raining, but I got a cool wooden spoon for my nut bowl.
Today is my first new classes at Lift. I ran on the treadmill while I was away (best hotel gym I've used in a long time). I'm taking a double class this morning to see what is what. Fingers crossed.
Lunch with a friend is cancelled so I can pick up a new foster. She's riding with me instead of lunch - good friend. More on Jake tomorrow. Sad story, but a new beginning today.
That's my scoop! Later gators :-)
