Happy Weekend!

in the Eastern Market neighborhood, D.C.

Hope you've all had a great week. I have some special visitors coming into town tomorrow, so am excited to hang out and play tour guide. Also, the D.C. Jazz Fest is wrapping up, so we'll see if we can't sneak a show into our schedule.

What will you be up to over the next few days? Hopefully, your plans are either fun or relaxing, depending on the kind of weekend you need most. I'll see you next week. In the meantime, enjoy checking out these bits and pieces:
