Summer in DC

I am incredibly behind in blogging. It's a bit ridiculous. That said this was a good summer in DC and here are a few of the highlights.

Cafe Rio is in the DC area. And since this picture, there is now a 2nd location in the Greater DC area. Yes I've been to both many, many times. Let's just say I've earned a couple of free meals already. Oh Pork Burrito how I love thee...
A few of my favorite DC gals enjoying Cafe Rio with me. Kat, Meradyth & Amber.

Melissa and the boys came for a visit over the 4th of July and that was just perfection. Vince has got an eye for photography. The kid is pretty good. Ansel Adams better watch out.

Me! Haha. This is Vince's shot. Not too shabby.

Hello sunshine! Baby Clyde (don't you love how they're matching?!) is all of his beauty.

The boys were actually with Al and Melissa came up for visit, so this is a shot of them seeing her for the first time in a couple of weeks. It was such a great moment.

Melissa and I after a Capitol Tour. My friend Joe gave us a great tour of the Capitol and it was such a perfect day, grabbed some great grub at Good Stuff Eatery and enjoyed the sunshine.

President's desk in the Capitol. Thanks Joe!

Roommate photo! My roommates and I went out for Julie's birthday and walked around the monuments as the sun was setting. It was a perfect night. I really do love this town, especially in the summertime.

Fried Chicken & Waffles. Delish. For Julie's dinner we ate at Founding Farmers. A really popular restaurant in DC. It definitely lived up to the hype. It was amazing!

Enjoying Founding Farmers.

Summer isn't complete without at least one baseball game. I didn't get to as many games as I'd have liked, but I did get at least one and it was the perfect night for a game. I'm telling you this town is a dream in the summer. Love it!

The whole baseball crew.

Sunset from our seats in the Nationals stadium. Gorgeous!

Go Nationals!

Kate. I love her. This girl just makes me happy. She got married the weekend I was in Pittsburgh for work. But we did throw her a heckuva a bridal shower and here she is enjoying it :)

It was a yogurt bar. It turned out wonderfully and was the perfect food for a summer shower.

All of Kate's ladies enjoying the shower. What would summer be without bridal showers?!

More of Kate! I told you I loved her :)

It really was a good summer in DC. I look back and can't believe it's already over and there are moments I feel like I didn't do much, since there was no real "big trip." But I did get some quality time with my city and in the end, that's exactly what I needed. I do love this town, but we'll see how I'm feeling come the dead of winter!
