Rolling Thunder's Ride for Freedom

If you live in DC, you cannot help but notice the thousands of motorcyclists that rumble into our area for each Memorial Day Weekend. This year marks Rolling Thunder’s 28th annual Ride for Freedom; Sunday, 12 noon, from the Pentagon to the National Mall, West Potomac Park. This is to demonstrate their commitment to help veterans and to account for missing soldiers from past and current wars.

Wagshal's, Fly Over, Gardens, Race for the Cure

Julia is home and we are stocking up on meat! London Broil, roasted chicken, chicken liver, country sausage, kielbasa, genoa salami, roast beef, steamship roast, lamb, bacon, goat cheese, pears. Alex at Wagshal's is the best--so friendly, always smiling and providing excellent service! Thank you, Alex!

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure was today, along with the Georgetown Garden Tour. On Friday, I got a quick video of the fly over. I was a bit late to the party (had a meeting that went late)--but the Mall was packed with people. Very cool…just another perk for living and working in DC.

Georgetown French Market

Did you check out the 12th annual Georgetown French Market last weekend? This open-air market showcases antiques, clothing, sweet and savory crepes, pastries, macarons, music, and more. We were out of town, but I was happily surprised to see some remnants of it on Sunday afternoon. Last year, Steven and Julia got crepes from Cafe Bonaparte. Yummo! 

Cherry Blossoms in DC

Beautiful running weather and ideal for the springtime buds and blossoms. I love my city. 

Productive Run to Library and Wagshal's

New tries this week at Wagshal's--chopped chicken liver and sushi grade tuna. Awesome!

Did you know that DC Public Library has self check out? Quick and easy!

Perfect 61 Degree Running

The day started out a bit chilly, 39-degrees; however, it warmed up to a beautiful 61 degrees this afternoon. The snow and ice are melting and signs of spring abound! Check out the empty Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. It looks like they are working on repairs.

Melt the Snowbear!

Have you seen this snowbear on R Street, NW? Very cute--but I am desperately hoping that we will get up to 40 degrees today and that the dang bear will melt along with all the icy sidewalks and alleys. If you haven't heard, they are predicting below freezing temperatures for the next four days and a dusting to one inch tomorrow morning during rush hour. Enough snow! The normal temperature for end of February is 50 degrees...hard to believe these days.
