Running With Pete!

We're coming up on election time, and my brother Pete is running for reelection for county supervisor. They marched in a parade recently, and Jack had a great time marching with him - or, RUNNING with him, as the slogan goes.

DIY Food Tour

It was a beautiful, sunny weekend, and so we had to do SOMETHING, and we realized there were chunks of D.C. that we had never even been to. So we decided to DIY a food tour in Adams Morgan, a cute little neighborhood full of restaurants.

Our first stop was Julia's for some empanadas.

Man, those things were de-licious. Really, we could have stopped there and been satisfied. But alas, that would not be a food tour. So off we went to....

Sakuramen for some ramen, bulgogi buns, and dumplings

Mr. Jack was a bit tired, after a very late night - but he soon perked up with some tasty ramen

Please note the tasty ramen

Then it was off for some salty goodness - some frieten at Amsterdam Falafelshop

And shame on us (shame!) if we didn't get plenty of sweets - so we headed to Cakeroom for some cupcakes and cheesecake

And they were good

Sure, Ellie may not look it, but she was in her happy place, with a carrot cake cupcake and Nutella cheesecake

Finally, we stopped for hot chocolate at Tryst

A successful DIY Food Tour, and a fun time with the family - even if Ellie won't admit it

Admit it, Ellie, admit it!
