E Around Town

Sunset at the Nationals' Ballpark

Wait, what is this? Three blog posts in a row?! Insane, I know.  But I finally feel like I am starting to get things under control in my life enough that I can go back to my regularly scheduled programming (hopefully). Life's been busy and I am lucky for the goodness that's come my way this spring.  Lately I've been experiencing the best sides of Washington in the mostly favorable weather we have been having. I will always tuck this period of my life in my heart and take it out to see and hold when things are not looking as rosy.

Waiting in the dark metro after my final tutoring session! 

Morning scene from my apartment window

Making whoopie pies (aka moon pies) for the first time (note:  I made the tops WAY too big)

Walking across the bridge to the Lincoln Memorial one evening

I have always wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial at night

Walking 'round the Lincoln Memorial

There should be two pairs of feet - and there are (well, technically three in this picture)!

Our shadows while sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at night!

An apple pie for Memorial Day!

Fredricksburg battlefields with my own personal Civil War buff (I have learned so much, especially about the Confederate side - this is not to say that I will be whistling Dixie any time soon)

A Spring Weekend

An Easter lily from my beau

The fragrance from this delicate flower perfumed my apartment in the spirit of the Easter season!

Spicy Mexican Pizza from We the Pizza

A Saturday evening meal with friends in Capitol Hill. I finally tried out We the Pizza with their homemade sodas and freshly made pizza!

DC United Game At RFK Stadium

I finally checked out RFK stadium by attending a DC United soccer match (they tied to Seattle Sounders 0-0) with some work girlfriends. We laughed raucously and had merry time!

An evening Easter service at St. Matthew's in DC

 Easter Sunday in Virginia was gorgeously sunny and 70 degrees! I went to an evening service at St. Matthew's Cathedral near Farrugut North in DC with a friend. The evening was a perfect temperature. I arrived early so I strolled around the neighboring streets to enjoy the luscious spring blooms.

Strolling by the Uzbekistan Embassy before church

 Just an absolutely lovely spring evening.

Easter outfit

I took this sly shot of my Easter dress to share with family, but those who read this little blog are my family too! Happy Easter!
