DC Trip - Day 3

This will be a shorter post...

On Day 3 of our trip (Monday) we stayed in.  A part of the snow storm that hit St. Louis hit the DC area.  We didn't get a foot of snow there like they did in St. Louis, but that combined with being so tired and sore we decided to stay in while Keith was an adult and went to work.

How did we spend our day?  Well... we watched some movies on Netflix - I put on Big Fish.  I hadn't seen it in awhile and thought it we would all enjoy it.

My mom put on Bernie - a dark comedy with Jack Black - it was very good and interesting.

Lindsey put on the Lorax, but this is when I developed a pretty stellar headache and took a nap instead of watching it.

When Keith got home we decided to to go Ben's Chili Bowl


It's one of those local places you're suppose to go to.  It's been on some TV shows like a Man vs. Food or Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.  (not sure which, but that type of show.)  The chili was awesome!  It's spicy like I like.  We had chili dogs, chili fries and Lindsey had vegetarian chili.

The big deal here was President Obama came and ate there - Lindsey even bought a shirt that said that.  President Obama and his family can eat free there anytime they want... oh and Bill Cosby can too.

Quite the Diner feel huh?
We really lucked out on our timing b/c it wasn't too crowded.  Keith said it's typically WAY more crowded with a long line.  Worked out perfectly!

After our nice little dinner we had our second Target trip of the week.  The first one didn't have brooms and Mom really wanted Keith to have a broom, haha.  This time it was in DC so the Target was in like a mall type of place and was two stories.  It was a different experience.  We also got Keith some board games as a 'house warming' present.

And that's what we did the rest of the night - played Scattergories... we really are a board game family!
