After drinking my weight in margaritas, beer, and wine this weekend, I think it's time to start treating my body better. I don't even want to know what the scale will be saying tomorrow! Our trip to Texas was awesome. We had a great time with family and enjoyed celebrating Beer Geek's grandmother's birthday. In addition to the aforementioned alcohol, much barbecue and TexMex food was eaten. The boys had an awesome time with their cousins. They got to drive tractors, climb trees, and spend an afternoon throwing oranges into a pool (don't ask).

Aerobic filing and packing
It's COLD out there today! Low 20s and windy. I'm sure my northern friends would be happy to warm up to that, but for us Virginians, that's cold.

Ok, maybe that's a … [Read more...]

Although there are things I don't like about this area (too much traffic and expensive houses to name just a couple), there are a lot of things I like about living where we do. One of those is that a decision to head into the city requires little more than grabbing my bag and a stroller and heading out the door. Saturday was a beautiful day and we've all been going a little stir crazy with the boys being out of school. On a whim, we decided to go into the city and grab lunch and check out the train display at Union Station. We walked to the metro and hopped a train. Cool thing #1 - our metro cards from the day have Barack Obama on them in honor of the upcoming inauguration. I made sure we had a few extra cents on them so that the boys … [Read more...]
