J and I took a long weekend trip to D.C. over the last 4 days (further blowing my resolution to blog 5 days/week), and it we had a wonderful time!
We went to the Smithsonian museums, walked around all of the monuments at night, walked through Arlington Cemetery, sat in Ford's Theater, and ate some truly delicious foods. We went to two restaurants by Jose Andres,
Jaleo the first night where we partook of some excellent tapas and paella, and on Sunday afternoon we brunched at Cafe Atlantico where they serve a
neuvo latino dim sum brunch. We also tried
Ethiopian food for the first time and both loved it! Yum!

Some of my favorites from the trip (aside from the food) were the Hubble 3D IMAX movie in the Air and Space Museum, the First Ladies exhibit in the American History Museum, walking the mall at moonlight, the crystal exhibit in the Natural History Museum (we got to see the Hope Diamond and some pretty other fabulous jewels there as well), and the butterfly garden in the Natural History Museum (reminded me of Arielle).

Hope you all had a great weekend as well and are ready for some shuttle launching at the end of the week!
