Two weeks after Lindsey & Daryl were here, our good friends from home, Dustin & Tara Andrist, were able to visit in early April. Unfortunately for both of us, there was no excape from work for their first day visit, but Stuart was able to tour around DC with them on their second day taking in a lot of the mall as well as the Museum of Natural History. Jill tried to meet up for a tour of the Botanical Garden, but with a 6:00 closing time, it was too late, so we headed to Brickskeller in Dupont Circle for some drinks before returning ho me.
The following day, after a late brunch at the Silver Diner in Clarendon we headed to Georgetown and window-shopped. Always a little overstimulating, it's still fun to bring guests there and just pretend we're well off enough to shop and or live in that area. We did, however, splurge on some killer cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake renowned for the best cupcakes made with premium ingredients. In the words of Dustin, "A cupcake is a cupcake, but that shit was goood!" ... The Hansen's agree Dust
After leaving Georgetown we walked along the river down to the Tidal Basin area. Dust & Tara were lucky enough to be here during all the Cherry Blossom festivities. All the beautiful trees were in full bloom, which meant the crowds to see them were also on full patrol. A number of times we commented on how great of pictures you could get, if you could just have the whole place to yourself. Soo many trees, but soooo many people, getting a good shot was a rare thing in deed.
That night after a long day of walking, around Clarendon, from Rosyln across the bridge to & thru G-town, along the river & Tidal Basin through cherry tree central, we were tuckered so just grilled up some yummies, watched some college B-ball & played Wii. It's always great having good friends come to visit!
