Christmas in July

The National Christmas Tree is still there! It has been over 7 months and I'm just noticing! It looks like it is not enjoying the DC humidity. 

Hula Hooping on the Plaza

Come out every Thursday in July (5:30-6:30 pm) to Hoopin' on the Plaza, Woodrow Wilson Plaza, outside of the Ronald Reagan Building (1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW). It's free and it's fun! Thank you to Julia's EPA colleague, Jennifer, who runs this great event. As newbies, it was not intimidating at all; Jennifer gives great instruction and makes it all about enjoying yourself. There were several people that stumbled upon it and joined in--work clothes and all. Yes, some people were gawking, taking videos, and pictures...but who cares, we were gawking, taking videos and pictures too!! The best part was spending time with Julia; I'm so happy she's home to push me to try new things (Chipotle and hula hooping, just this summer!).
