Weekend at the Beach

We spent the last weekend of summer at our friend's beach house in Delaware. The weather was perfect for beach-walking, letting the dogs run, and going on morning runs. Daisy was beyond excited all weekend and spent the majority of it on the beach or in the water fetching a tennis ball.

Quick Trip to D.C.

We took a quick trip to D.C. last week with T's mother.  The main purpose of our visit was to visit the Museum of African Art where a few of T's mother's photographs will be on display as part of an exhibition early next year.  While we were there, we received a personal tour of the museum from the exhibition curator who described each exhibition and the permanent collection to us in great detail.  I was in awe of her knowledge and passion for her field and artists she represents in the museum.  Amazing work by the artists and curators, indeed!  We can't wait to go back next year to see the exhibition in its entirety and to celebrate her accomplishment.

Being indoors was a reprieve from the oppressing heat and humidity outside.  And as most of D.C. involves walking from one monument or museum to another, we took our time outdoors stopping for water and breaks in the shade.  We also assured T's mother that the weather will be quite different when she returns for the exhibition in the Spring of next year.

Some of the pedestrian highlights included a dinner at Nando's Peri-Peri (so good!), a quick walk-through the public library, two enjoyable breakfasts at a nearby french eatery, and a fun newlywed dinner for T and I at a hip pizzeria with a great menu, draft beer selection, and interior.     \

Our Wedding

Wow!  I can't believe our wedding has come and gone.  I remember so much and very little at the same time - is that even possible??  What I do remember is having a fabulous time and loving every second of it... especially the ceremony.  We enjoyed seeing loved ones from near and far and spending quality time with close family leading up to the big day.  Thomas and I keep re-capping the evening from our perspectives and looking at photographs taken throughout the evening by family and friends.  What a tremendous event that will certainly be one of the biggest highlights of our relationship and personal lives.

Here's one photo of MANY to be documented on this blog.  Videos coming shortly!
