The National Arboretum
The weather has been really nice this weekend, a little cold, but sunny blue skies. On Saturday Hank and I went to one of my favorite places in DC....the arboretum. He'll admit that it wasn't exactly "his cup of tea," but I think he enjoyed it anyway. 
Hank really liked the Herb garden....hmm ok maybe not so much, but I thought the medicinal herb part was really cool.
I always enjoy the Bonsai trees so I insisted we go see them.
This was one of our favorites. Wierd freakin trees.

The Awakening
I went on a lunch cruise on the Potomac the other day for work. One of the things that caught my eye was this statue called the Awakening. It is near the Jefferson so Hank and I went to check it out the other night. It is a statue of a giant rising from the earth. It started as a temporary exhibit but people liked it so much they ended up leaving it where it was. I also read that the land its on sometimes floods. It is a kinda creepy statue to begin with, I can only imagine what it looks like when its just giant body parts sticking out of some water.
Hank wanted me to get inside the giants mouth. I refused, so Hank went ahead and did it himself.
Hank seems to have about as much respect for statues as megan.
Hank and.....an arm.
That is one BIG foot.
I kind of have this wierd feeling that Amy and Curt took us to see it once and I'm just not remembering. You would think I'd remember a statue like this though.

Amara's Family Comes to Town
Amara's brother, sister, and sister's boyfriend were in town this week. It was fun to spend some time with them, and I think they really enjoyed DC.
This Amara and her sister Joya. Joya is so dang cute.
On Saturday night Hank and I joined Amara, her family, and Jo for dinner in Georgetown. We went to a place calle JPauls. Hank tried to pick up the bill and got a firm scolding from Amara's mom. It was awesome.
After dinner we walked over to a place called Mr. Smith's. Amara's friend Kristen and her fiance met us over there. Here are all the girls. Joya, Me, Amara, Jo, and Kristen.
Self portrait of me and Jo.
