Boyfriend and I took a week to visit his family in Virginia and my roommates from college who now live in D.C. It was wonderful in many ways. We had relaxing days on the boat, busy afternoons of exploring the Capitol, rousing games of darts, pool, and Origins, family time, friend time, and us time.
Taking the boat out on the Potomac River.
Got to see the Washington Monuments from the water.
Got to see Boyfriend do his boat thing.
Enjoyed watching fireworks from the back deck. Happy Birthday America!
Friends in D.C. hooked us up with a private tour of the Capitol Building. My favorite part was getting to stand on the Speaker of the House's private balcony and gaze out across the Mall.

Our adventure at the Spy Museum was cut short by the fire alarm sounding and us being kicked out of the building. Something rather fishy about that.
Took a jaunt into Georgetown with Boyfriend and my darling friends to fabulous Pizzeria Paradiso!
It's important to be with someone who has a sense of humor. Or rather, your kind of humor. One of the many reasons I adore Adam.
"I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know."

The sky looked painted that evening and across the street an old man was playing the sax.
I never stop laughing with these girls. The days of college have long gone, but Bethany and Caitlin are kindred spirits forever.
