How did you spend your Mothers Day? Mine was crafty. I met my mom and sister out in Annapolis for a beautiful day and paint your own pottery at Clay Bakers. It is a great way to catch up and no real artsy skills necessary. We have gone before and the pottery always ends up looking good... (I think that the sentimental perspective helps out on that one) They have ladies night, BYOB and the equivalent of pottery "happy hour" a few times a month too.

Mothers Day
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Antes de morir quiero _________
Good morning! Something fun from last night- While walking home from a delicious dinner I
ran into a group of people pondering this renovation wall that had recently
gone up. As I got closer I realized that
someone had put up a “Before I die _______” and “Antes de morir quiero _______”
mural and left chalk for people to fill in the blanks! I called Alec and had him join me on the
corner (Q and 14th). We spent
the next half hour reading others’ answers and adding our own. Answers ranged from the most ridiculous
(Before I die I want to own taxidermy…) to very personal (Before I die I want
to see my children grow up.) As you will
note, the board was almost completely filled.
Alec put me on his shoulders so that I could get a top spot! You’ll see ours below:

I want to go to San Franciso
We saw French DJ Fred Falke at U St Music Hall a few months ago. Great party.

$2 Tickets and $1 Hotdogs
Our view- Go Nats! |
Yesterday a group of us went to
the $2 tickets Nationals game. If you
haven’t been to a game yet, I highly suggest making the trip whether you are a
baseball fan or not. Weather was perfect
and what better way to spend a Tuesday than with friends outside. The game is an added perk.
Another perk is the Bull Pen, an
open beer gardenish area outside the park.
Live bands play before the game and you can usually find a few corn hole
games going. The Bull Pen looks out over
the metro so after the game it’s a great place to hang out and watch the crowds
thin.
Since I haven’t focused on food
in a while, I thought I would mention my love of hotdogs. I am not a huge meat eater, but the nostalgia
of being at the game, eating a dog, gets me every time. While looking for a photo to exemplify this dog
love (with ketchup, mustard and chopped onions) I found this article. Sigh.
I hope that drinking DC water has upped my stomach immunity! Props to the Nats for being name dropped as a
healthy food stadium! Do you think my
hotdog is included?
An overall great evening. Tonight is $1 hot dogs if you’re interested.
Ps: Part 2 of the OC Guide is on
it’s way sometime this week

A Girls Guide to OC- Part 1
A girls weekend in Ocean City in
April can best be described through the restaurants and bars that were visited
because, let’s face it, that’s what Ocean City does best. Having lived here for a summer, it is
always fun to re-visit old favorites, which we did this time around. Hope that you enjoy Kate’s Guide to a
Girls Weekend in OC!
