After a bit of wandering through the beach-goer traffic in Delaware, we finally found the beach we sought. And it was a good thing too, because as I was laying on the beach sunning myself,
I just happened to look up to see a dolphin jumping up out of the water about 50 feet away. There were at least three of them playing around just off shore. It was pretty rad.
You'll have to look pretty hard to see them, but you'll find a pair of fins on the left half of the picture.
I just ate a salad with greens from my garden after getting home from yoga.
Next I will go hug a tree.
I got to go to Utah last week, and among the flurry of exciting activities, I took a little ride along the Oregon Trail.
I actually had no idea that our little bike ride around the lake had anything to do with the Oregon Trail, nor did I read the sign well enough to know if we were really on the trail or just somewhere near it. Regardless, I loved thinking back to the days of floppy disks, computer labs, hunting buffalo, and dysentery in elementary school.
No worries, we all made it through the trail healthy and alive.
It's gone. I'm kind of sad, and kind of relieved. The impetus for the demise of the blanket fort is the expected arrival of the new roommate and her new couch. Don't blame her, it was time, and I must say the living room was in desperate need of some vacuuming.
Doesn't it look like Christmas morning, post Grinch?
This is the pile of laundry that I am maybe half way through completing......
And now my living room is back to normal. I just sat in there this morning taking it in. The fort was really only up for three and a half months, but the room as it was looks a bit foreign to me now. I just hope watching the food network is still as much fun.
Only at this baseball game is the sight of a seersucker suit a common occurrence.
It's the annual congressional baseball game. What a great way to see a bunch of middle aged politicians run around in the dirt!
The blanket fort is coming down this weekend. It's been up for more than 100 days, and it's time for the magic to end.
It's been a busy weekend, and now I'm stuck in traffic with a bunch of country music lovers. I'll survive this bit, and watching the fireworks from the top of the watergate building was totally worth it (shredding party to follow).
There was a parade and a balloon.
There was a lot of food.
There was clogging.
And, there were fireworks!
