Two weekends ago, my friend, Mela invited some friends to check out the National Arboretum in DC as part of her farewell-to-DC bucket list. She's off to grad school in the fall but leaving DC this week to travel around the world before school starts.

I also got to check out another picturesque DC spot this past weekend. Mela held her despedida picnic at the Georgetown waterfront. It actually took me and K a little longer than expected to get there because we ended up on the wrong bus. Oops. But that was our little side adventure for the day. Georgetown waterfront is a wonderful place that's ideal for both sports and just, plain laying around the sun. We went on a particularly nippy day so there weren't hordes of people in the area.

In case you think that all I do is just traipse around DC and enjoy the sites and the pretty weather, I've actually spent a lot of late nights doing homework and stress snacking like mad.

The above picture was taken after a particularly crazy night of researching, writing, and heavy duty snacking. Hard work, I assure you.
I also managed to find time to experiment in the kitchen but that's another story for another time.
