DC Rocks...

We had a fantastic visit with my sister Molly and her boy Alex in Washington D.C. this past weekend...but it was way too short (I have already been looking into tickets to go back).  I also got sick while we were there which sort of threw a wrench into our plans.  When we got in on Friday night we had margaritas & great Mexican food at Alero.  I was able to keep it together enough to have a huge day on Saturday - walking the mall, seeing the White House, visiting the American History and American Art museums, China Town, and a fantastic dinner at Heritage India.  But on Sunday, I was pretty much down for the count.  Cory and I had late brunch at Scion just 2 blocks from my sister's apartment and then it absolutely poured rain the rest of the day.  It kind of ended up working out OK that I felt like crap and didn't want to go anywhere.  We made my sister's famous "brick oven" pizza for dinner that night - our favorite pizza was the bacon & sliced apple (with a touch of barbecue sauce).  We baked chocolate chip & sliced almond cookies and I learned why my sister has trouble baking (she tries to wing it).  The girl also does not have a set of measuring cups.  We had an amazing meal at Ted's Bulletin (see the above homemade pop-tart they are famous for).  I also learned that my yahoo email address really makes me seem old but it suddenly became cool/vintage when I revealed that it was my 1st ever email address (I do have a gmail address I just rarely use it).  I always laugh a LOT when I am with my sister....miss her already!
