Memorial Day Weekend

Last night, we got a nice surprise when Alisa learned she has Monday off after assuming she had to work. We're grateful for a nice 3 day weekend to spend time together even though Alisa has a lot of final touches to put on her end-of-fellowship project.

Today we returned to Teddy Roosevelt Island for a morning walk. Alisa had not been there yet. I would argue that of all the tourist sites in DC, this has been my favorite. Probably because it is so overlooked, and therefore it's very quiet. Most importantly, it's a beautifully preserved space--as Teddy would have liked it.



Here is Phoebe last July at the memorial. It's hard to believe she was ever this much of a baby . . . or this chunky!























We spend a lot of time sitting on chairs these days. If we let her, she would have sat on each bench in this park--and there were a lot of them.


I think as the weather gets hotter, she wants more hats. So if it hits 100 here, she may go to three.














We should probably get her her own chair, eh?
