having nothing to do this summer sure was busy

so this summer has been crazy. i've been not working very much but somehow we've been super busy anyway. so here's my summer life!!!

1. this is what i see almost every day when i drive to work. dude. it's kind of awe inspiring.

2. we discovered a hole in the wall, authentic thai restaurant. it's in a basement, it's a fixed price and you don't order, the guy just cooks you what he feels like. and it's amazing. clearly, aaricka and kyle gave it 2 thumbs up.



3. we went to see my morning jacket. for the hundreth time. they are one of our favorite bands and we all car pooled out to merriweather to see the show. i drank adult sno-cones (sno-cone with vodka!!), kyle let us ruin his shirt during the show, there was nasa beer bear and we all got sweaty and danced.

4. we went to west virginia for lp's family reunion. it was breathtakingly gorgeous (of course i forgot to bring my good camera). there was a gold tournament and i got to drive the golf cart. hooray!!! i found a sweet koozie in the gift shop ("if someone offers you a life, take it!) and we got to drive all through the mountains. i wanna go back!!




5. we had an earthquake. and then a hurricane 2 days later. lp and i threw a party for the 'hurriquake'

6. dc has an abundance of all-you-can-eat-and-drink places. on labor day weekend, we went to one. it was pretty good but we were STUFFED.





7. i just got back from acl. it was super great. as always. the weather was decent. i always say 'this is my last year' (because i'm getting old) but then i love it so much!!!
