Livin It up in DC

Good Afternoon Cyberspace,

My week has slowed down enough to have time to update my tales. I defintely have a few things to get off my chest. So *takes deep breath* here goes.

Basically my woes are with DC. Yes the good ole' nations capitol has let me down. It's not that DC isn't a good time. Most of my adventures there turn out to be quite lovely. But, for a directionally impaired lady such as myself navigating can be quite annoying. Case in point last Sunday my company hosted a tailgate at the Washington Nationals Game. Since I am flying solo these days I invited my woman for a ladies only date.

She gets to my house about 20 mins before the food was begining to be served. Plenty of time to get to RFK right? Well it is if Mapquest doesnt get you lost. I printed out driving directions so that we could make it to the game sometime in this millenium. So we follow them religiously. Where do they lead us? Into a Navy infested crap smelling yard. Have you ever noticed how bad things can smell? I mean REAKING of fith. I think that they had dead bodies everywhere or something.

Needless to say the areas that we drove around were not that nice looking. I'm glad to report that we did infact make it to the stadium an hour and 20 mins later in time to scarf down some food. I swear I had the best chocolate chip cookies ever made. It was at the picnic that I decided to chug a glass of "Barefoot" wine. My lady was doing well with her beer, but did end up drinking some red wine as well.

All of a sudden there were fireworks and a baseball game going on. Personally I'm not a big baseball fan. But, being tipsy at the game was amusing. I sent out random text messages of pictures of the field. I don't know why I did. Sometimes I just spontaneously decide to do interesting things. I really wanted to ask the hot lemonade man with the $5 on his shirt if that cost was for him. Hee hee hee I know I know bad me. All in all the day was pretty fun.

Will I be driving through DC any time soon? Probably not... I'm thinking Metro from now on!!! LOL
