A 2011 Moment...
So don't be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time. Matthew 6:34
Enjoying Our Capital
My beloved travel companion (remember, the one who retired?), Karissa, wanted to spend her birthday in Washington DC over the summer. I hadn't been back to our nation's capitol since the 8th grade, when I bought a pair of fake Oakley's and got in trouble for throwing oranges at cars parked at our hotel. Oops. I'll admit, I was a little worried the city might be a bit boring for the twenty something scene, but silly me, I was wrong...
We quite enjoyed a nice stroll on a warm day to this gem of a tapas restaurant. The sangria was light, fizzy, and delightful. The small, warm plates, incredibly delicious. I think this restaurant will be a staple for each time I return.
Did a bit of shopping (good sale at Banana Republic), and searched high and low for a comfortable and flattering summer dress in coral (no luck). Drinks beside the river with the fierce and fashionable crowd... And this is my friend Willy - get to know him.
That evening we played with some gentlemen from the FBI in a dark dungeon of a dance club, begging Karissa not to go on a bike ride in the middle of the night. Needless to say we were in dire need of a greasy breakfast in the morning. Beignets and bloodies? Yes please!
Thank you darling Willy and Washington DC for a fabulous weekend...

Bienvenido a Miami
My 27th Birthday in Miami at the Fountainebleau... The expensive pitcher of mojito, amazing. Watching the awkward McLovin' enjoy the spotlight in a nearby cabana, funny. The sun and the scenery, trendy.
And I found a nice spot to spend the next birthday... my own private cabana island. I wonder how the waitresses get your drinks to you?
