Over the Weekend.

Another fun-filled weekend spent laughing with friends, eating good food and exploring everything this area has to offer. 

On Friday night, I was supposed to go climbing with a friend, but after she got stuck at work, her husband suggested a night of champagne and Popeyes chicken. Um, yes, please! I didn't take any pictures because I was too busy stuffing my face with fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw, and washing it down with some bubbly. Hilariously delicious. I ended the night with a Pimm's cup before catching the Metro home. 

Saturday, hubs and I drove out to the Eastern Shore, to St. Michaels and Tilghman Island. In our dreams we bought this old brick house, a handmade wooden boat and hung a Labrador X-ing sign at the end of our driveway. In reality we walked around town, enjoyed the breeze off the bay, and had our first slice of key lime pie this year. 

After my 12-mile run on Sunday, we met our friends at the National Zoo, saw the zebras, sloth bear, orangutans, panda (briefly), Andean bear (briefly-er). We worked up an appetite walking around the zoo, and found ourselves at Dave & Buster's later that afternoon. Our friends' kids are on a mission to get enough D&B tickets for an XBox - 66,000 tickets, in case you were wondering - so we all spent some time playing games after dinner. Actually, we spent a ton of time playing games. The coin drop games are pointless, not nearly as much fun as pop-a-shot and skee-ball, and totally addicting. They are also major ticket-producers. We looked like a bunch of old birds at a casino, sitting in front of these shiny machines, hooting and hollering and hoping to hit the big one.
