Look at that glowing beer - Mmmmm!

kite festival

We went down to the National Mall to check out the kite festival. It was neat, but I was sorry not to have a zoom lens to get some better photos. All those dots in the sky are kites though.

I'm posting two because I can't figure out how to make the panoramic post bigger. It's a cool photo, but isn't so impressive in it's miniature format - just click on the image to see it larger.

We saw Spiderman 3, ate some nasty french fries, chicken tenders, and a quesadilla (all of which tasted like hamburger grease), and drank a pitcher of Hook & Ladder.

the grand finale

This is the view of the DC fireworks from the Air Force Memorial - right down the street from my apartment.

23rd street

Larry and I discovered a street in south Arlington with tons of cute little restaurants...we went to Cafe Pizzaiolo and stuffed our faces with awesome pizza and gelato (my favorite!). As if that wasn't enough food, we then had to go watch a movie about a rat chef...

Spent the afternoon with my dad at the Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum. I think after 6 hours there, my brain's capacity for technical knowledge pertaining to aircraft has been exceeded!
