We scratched an item off of our summer bucket list this week! We loaded up a quilt and a bottle of wine and headed down to NOMA for their Summer Screen event. Every Wednesday over the summer months a giant movie screen is blown up, the food trucks drive-in, and Washingtonians flock in the an empty lot for a movie showing. The event is open to the public and free …
Have you listened to Tiffany Thompson‘s music yet? She is a dear friend of ours and she is outrageously talented. She just moved to Nashville and though we are super sad to see her leave Washington, DC, we are so excited to see where she goes in that town! She had a send-off concert last week at Ebenezer’s Coffeehouse and the place was packed. She played with a full band and …
Happy Fourth of July everyone! Who’s excited for fireworks tonight?! I know I am! I am also taking some time to reflect on all of the freedom’s our country offers and the men and women who fight for them. I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating Independence Day today! O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose …
We feel very fortunate to have outdoor space while living in a city. Our back patio was huge selling point when we were looking for apartments to rent in the Washington, DC area and we had to compete with a lot other potential renters when we applied for this space! I love sitting out on the patio with friends on warm, summer evenings and sipping wine under our Christmas lights. …
Happy Birthday to my best friend! I can’t believe this is the 9th birthday I’ve had the privilege of spending with you. Can’t wait to celebrate many more throughout the years. I love sharing a ‘birthday week’ and am so grateful you were born.
After seeing an epic sunset on our way into Shenandoah National Park we decided we had to get up early for the sunrise. We stayed in the Lewis Mountain Cabins and made ourselves a nice fire before going to bed. We were up at around 5 am and loaded into the car to begin chasing the sunrise. Unfortunately we did not find an overlook in our area of the park …
It’s only been warm for a few weeks but we have already been able to enjoy some time away in nearby national parks – such a great way to kick off summer. Natalie and Jake were over at our house last weekend playing Settlers of Catan (you know, like the cool kids do) and we all decided to plan a spontaneous trip out of town to celebrate Natalie’s birthday. Five …
It’s officially summer time this week! We have already started participating in our favorite summer activities and can’t wait to continue. The summer months always go by far too quickly and I always have a few regrets about activities that were missed. This year I have decided to make a list so we don’t miss anything! we’ve already been able to check off wmany of the activities but thought we’d give …
Dave and I decided that we wanted to make this summer healthy. After weeks of travel and being stuck inside all winter, we are ready for a bit of a detox. We started eating healthy at the beginning of June by eating mainly lean meats, fruits & vegetables and cutting out everything else. The first few days were a little hard, (what is is about knowing you can’t have something …
I’ve decided to start a little series known as Friday Favorites. What is a Friday Favorite? Pretty much anything loosely media related that we are currently loving. And for the first installment: Friday Favorite #1 goes to: Plural Eyes 3. This wonderful program syncs all of your audio and video files with just about a click of a button. We were a little skeptical about how well it would really be …
