DC Trip - Part 2

Let's finish up this nice little recap of our trip to DC.

On Saturday we ate breakfast at the hotel (it was a mad house!).  Then we walked to a small farmer's market they were having in Downtown Silver Spring.  We walked around and the rest of them decided to get some coffee.  I just had some water.

Then we headed to the metro station and headed to the ballpark

On the way in

The weather was gorgeous and our seats were pretty amazing too.  The kinda funny thing is we were in the first row of our section and when we sat down the kid behind us started complaining loudly about how we blocked his view... oh kid.

We also managed to get a nice group shot.

We had a couple of beers and some random food.  It was crazy how long EVERY line was for food... never seen anything like that before... but to me DC is standing in line, so I shouldn't be too surprised.

After the game we headed over to a bar called Iron Horse.  We went there to watch the end of the Blues game.  And man - what an exciting game!  The Blues tied it up with only 6 seconds left to push it into overtime.  They ended up winning and my dad was excited to say the least...

We then headed up the street to go to dinner at Matchbox.  This was also a pizza joint, and very delicious.  We ate way too much food while we were there!

We headed back to Silver Spring, but had to wait forever because of the Metro system on the weekends (annoying), but we finally made it back.

The next morning (our last) we got up and checked out of the hotel.  We went to Founding Farmers for Easter Brunch.  It's pretty popular in the DC area.  We had a little trouble with our reservation and at first thought we were going to have to eat outside.  Luckily they accommodated us inside by adding a chair to a booth. 

All the food was delicious looking.  Usually I'm more of a savory breakfast person, but decided to go with New Orleans Style Stuffed French Toast with Bananas Foster topping.  It was so so good.  It was like dessert.

We headed up to Baltimore and stopped by a museum (it was free and cannot remember what it's called) and to stop by the grave of Edger Allen Poe.  Then Keith took us to the airport where we said our goodbyes and headed back home (which was the worse flight I've been on because of the pressure in my sinuses... blah)

Overall it was a wonderful trip.  Of course I would rather Keith leave closer, but DC is a nice alternative because there's so much to see and do there. A special thank you to my dad and Janet for taking me with them.  It was really a lot of fun!
