We had a very low key day. It was our first such day since arriving in DC. We spent the morning coloring, reading, and playing in the apartment. We ran a few close errands, drycleaners, CVS, farmer’s Market. We had a just-for-fun bath. We didn’t even go to the pool. I was trying to keep them calm and rested because I knew we’d be up late this evening. R had bought tickets to the Nationals/Phillies game. So when he got home, we headed straight for the metro.
The universe seemed determined to spoil our night. It was 96 degrees at 6:00. A was jumping up and down and gave herself a cut on her forehead. The stadium ran out of hot dogs. There was a thunderstorm brewing. There was a metro card dilemma. The Salad lasted 5 innings before R and I decided to cut our losses. We headed over to a fountain we had seen earlier in the month that S had been asking to revisit. It's clean, right on the waterfront and open for public wading. Since it was close to 9:00, almost dusk and stormy, we were the only people crazy enough to be there.
There was much eye rolling and growling through gritted teeth between R and I. But you know, some nights are like that. All in all, the night ended well. And provided some cute pictures. And isn't that what a blog post is all about, anyway?
