A nice walk in Georgetown

Since we want to take the chance to visit Dumbarton Oaks Park on Sunday because it's the last free admission day, I want to check on Georgetown cupcake to some free cakes. Then it will make our Sun. totally FREE. Such a beautiful and wonderful word. :P

OK, so we really did get 2 free cupcakes to taste and then we bought 2 different flavors. Gosh, these cupcakes though don't look gorgeous but are really great. I can't stop eating when I started. hahaha




Dumbarton Oaks Park is amazing. We visited the museum, music room and the garden. Very quiet afternoon walk and it's poetic. :)

How nice to see you again, Angela

Wow, what a busy weekend we had. First of all, I was so thrilled to meet Angela again in D.C. That is our 5th meet after we knew each other in 2005, on Thanksgiving in Providence. Then we met in Boston, D.C., Taipei before 2010.

She is really a very sweet girl and I adore her a lot. Can't believe that it's been four and half years and she graduated from law school and I married and moved to D.C. Also finally I introduced husband to her and they had pleasant chat in Tabard Inn where we met for breakfast.

We all love Tabard Inn and its fried donuts. Unbelievably good. Hope Angela will move to D.C. so that we'll have more chance to get together. But before that, let's get connected in facebook. I'm glad that she asked for my account and now we can keep updated our lives with each other.

We planned to go to Dumbarton Oaks Park but it is open from 2pm~5pm. She can't make it with her flight schedule, so we went to National Museum of American History to see Michelle Obama's dress in First Ladies Exhibit. Since it started on 3/10, we saw crowds in this first Sat and hence can't take close look but just browse some dresses that we like most. I think I will need to return to read in details later.

Then, time to say goodbye. I hope and believe we'll have another meet again in D.C. :)

A day in Baltimore

This weekend is such a non-stop one for us. After running all the errands that we had to, we drove to Baltimore. Finally paid a visit to Fort McHenry where I've been wanting to see the birth place of American National Anthem. However, we only spent 20 minutes there because it closes at 4:45pm on Sat. You need to pay fee to enter the Fort, so we will leave that for next time visit.

Although I had been to Baltimore several times but I never visited the east part of downtown where you can see a lot of restaurants and art/gallery/antique shops there. Some recession signs we saw in there and the real estate price is amazingly good.

When we were close to the house of husband's coworker, I saw this very old building which caught my attention. I don't know what is the business inside but I love to see the colors in the dawn. Therefore I asked husband to take some photos for me there.

We spent a great night party with some nice people. They all don't like Avatar and Comcast which I found amazing. :D Surely a lot of politic critics in the party as well as music and good drinks and food.

I really enjoyed it and hope there will be lots of parties to come. hahahaha
