Family Time

Last weekend my parents flew in to visit. We had a great weekend trying out all the resturants in our neighborhood that are usually out of our price range, visiting Arena Stage, the National Zoo and the American History Museum. They stayed at a Bed and Basket we found through the New Columbia Heights Blog. It is just on the other side of Harriet Tubman from our apartment and was nice enough for them for the weekend. The only major issue they complained of was the noise from Wonderland.

Friday night we took a short tour of the neighborhood and then went for a delicious dinner and drinks at Meridian Pint.

Saturday we took in brunch at The Heights followed by a backstage tour of Arena Stage, a leisurely walk through SW to the National Mall and some museum hopping before dinner at Red Rocks Pizza.

Sunday we took the Circulator to the National Zoo, visited with the Asian Animals, the Birds and a few other creatures (including a brief look at the Panda) and then walked back to our apartment for football, dinner making and some small home repairs.

Monday morning we all grabbed some coffee at Sticky Fingers and then went our separate ways. It was really nice to see them and the weather that weekend was beautiful, I just wish they could have stayed longer.

(I don't have any pictures to post as my dad took them all on his fancy new camera.)
