Incredible Weekend

This has been the most amazing weekend I can remember. Quick recap first, then full-blown. With photos, from me and G!

Friday: Caps game
Saturday: Cherry blossom viewing, yoga by the Tidal Basin, brunch in Georgetown
Sunday: Ran my second 5k, the Cherry Blossom 5k Run/Walk. Also? Finished a sweater!

The Caps game was great- and of course I brought that ever-present baby blanket with me. Got at least 5-6 rows done, and the game was enjoyable. Though they were not playing their best... boo.

Saturday was just tons of fun. G and I headed out to get our race packets for Sunday with our friend Kevin. I realized if I went to get the packet I might miss the free yoga class by the Tidal Basin, at the Cherry Blossom Festival stage (in front of the monument!), so I went straight there. Gorgeous morning, but tons of wind. It was my first time doing yoga outside, and it was definitely a yoga adventure! George took some great photos during our class, and my friend Manda was also there and joined up afterwards for some creative photo-taking around the FDR memorial and the blossoms.

We went out for an amazing brunch at Mie N Yu in Georgetown, which was a ton of fun- but no photos up from that yet. Lovely decor... and yummy.

Then finally- today I went out with some folks from my company and G and a bunch of our buddies to the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler and 5k Run/Walk. Guess which I did. But I smashed my personal record for a 5k, and loved every minute of it!

After the race I did some chores around the house- not only is Passover coming, I have a parental visit coming up! But I still managed to finish my sweater while we watched our first Blu-Ray disc, Let the Right One In. Horror movie... sort of. Definitely interesting. The sweater is plain ole great! I definitely need to block it- but it's wearable!

Perfect Sweater, Redux
