My Mom dropped by for a visit over the past weekend. J and I only could spend a day with her really, and we took her to see the Smithsonian and the mall.

J and I managed to get out to see the cherry blossoms before the winter chill and the heavy rain and winds wiped out the blossoms. The gallery has pictures from our walk down the mall (you might be able to make out some of the kites around the Monument from the Kite Festival. Other stops are the Jefferson Memorial and the FDR Memorial.

The Cherry Blossoms actually have their own festivals, replete with street festival, parade, and best of all, the Grand Sushi and Sake Tasting. Two hours of all you can eat sushi and all you can drink sake and beer. Three master sushi chefs in attendance, with participation from the best sushi restaurants in DC. Yummy. Unfortunately, the only good picture I took was the first one. Like I said, all you can eat, all you can drink….

Posted some photos from a trip last year to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, which is the annex to the National Air and Space Museum, housing the Concorde and the Space Shuttle Enterprise (along with a lot of other airplanes). The shots aren’t too thrilling, so I just stuck them in the Gallery

Introducing the third (and mostly silent) member of our household - Scooter. J’s actually had Scooter for four years, so I had to win her over after winning J over. She’s a rescue, so she’s pretty shy around other people, but once she gets to know you, you’re a friend for life.

Y wanted photos, so here you go

We spent this weekend in NYC, attending the wedding of two of my old friends/colleagues, as well as just chillin - a combination of a 1 year anniversary and J’s 28th birthday rolled into one (plus a Christmas gift from J to me from 2005). Ate well, saw Spamalot, went to the Empire State Building at midnight, shopped 5th ave and went to the MOMA.

Great weather for September, so J and I decided to head up to the National Zoo. The new baby panda was taking a nap inside, but mom was talking her afternoon walk. Took a lot of photos, most of which were okay. A random sampling here.

J and I were a little restless this morning, and decided to hit up the Smithsonian. We started in at the Natural History Museum, and worked our way through the National Gallery and around to the National Botanical Gardens. Some snaps if you click on the chiclet
