We decided to stick around town this weekend, unlike the rest of D.C. The thing is, when your parents have a beach house the beach becomes the last place you want to be on a holiday weekend. A 6 hour drive takes 10, and the city you live in can become your playground instead.
I finally downloaded hipstamatic, the iPhone ap I've seen all the other bloggers talking about. And man, is it fun to play with.
I present, our weekend in pictures. Look pictures! Like a real blogger.
Playgrounds-
(A year ago there is no way in hell Michael would have done the balance beam in this picture. Yeah OT. And gymnastics.)
Games-
Date Night-
The Zoo- (Not that zoo. DC has a great free zoo, but we decided to drive an hour and pay for a zoo, because we are crazy. No, in all honesty it was awesome. You can get really up close to the animals and they take you on a safari ride and Michael thought it was possibly the best thing ever.
Roasting Marshmallows in The Backyard. A year ago we were in the midst of moving hell. I could not love this house more.
Happy Memorial Day. And to all who served or the families who served and lost someone, thank you.

That looks like a picture-perfect weekend. (Pun fully intended) There is something to be said for enjoying the stuff that you can do around the DC area. And you might have to be certifiable to even think about crossing the Chesapeake for Memorial Day weekend!
And? I’m JELUS of the backyard!
Great pics! LOVE the pirate hat!!
