Leslie, Caroline and I attended Woofstock, a fundraiser for the new animal shelter. There were bands, food, dogs (lots of dogs) and a jumper thingy.

CAROLINE AND CHARLIE - 8/28/2010
Caroline and Charlie had a play date. It was actually a jewelry party but, as usual, they thought it was all about them.

MORE DC PICTURES
These are pictures I took my last day. The Marine Corp band playing on the Capitol steps, a plaza in between Congressional Office buildings and other random shots.

DOWNTOWN DC GARDEN
This urban garden was located in the triangle-shaped median between Maryland Avenue, Independence Avenue and 6th Street, and directly across the street from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I spoke with a lady who was there tending her plot (or rather I fired off questions to her and she answered them) and she said that when the space was set aside as a community garden people reserved a plot on a first come first served basis. There is a strict set of guidelines under which it is governed. Everything must be organic, no trees or large bushes and if the plot is not well-maintained then you lose it and it goes to the next person on the list. She said there is a long waiting list. As you can see there was a bit of everything, from squash to peanuts. I found it fascinating and delightful!

WASHINGTON DC TRIP
CLICK TWICE ON VIEWER TO ENLARGE
I went to DC for a workshop for work. The workshop didn't start until Monday, August 2 but I left on Saturday to give me a couple of days to see some things. Primarily the DC public gardens. These are the only pictures that aren't of gardens.

JULY 4TH IN THE GROVE
We had a really fun 4th of July. We went to the Grove and listened to some music and visited with family and friends. After dark we walked over to the baseball field for the fireworks. Caroline was scared at first and started to cry, but we put her ear plugs in and she snuggled up to me and fell asleep.

FAMILY VACATION 2010
We took a true family vacation this year. We spent a week in Hot Springs and everyone was there. Eden and me, Leslie, John and Caroline, Baker, Beau and his girlfriend, Allie, Abby and her boyfriend, Skyler, Nicky, Mama and Daddy. We had a wonderful time. The weather was extremely hot. I think record-setting highs for Hot Springs, but we still loved it. Although the condo we stayed in was not clean when we got there (we cleaned it ourselves) and the air conditioner gave us some minor problems, it was very nice and comfortable and right on the water. We did lots of boating, eating and spent time together . I especially loved the Garvin Gardens, although I didn't get to spend enough time there. We took Nicky and Caroline up on the mountain on our way out the last day and collected some of the hot spring water from a fountain downtown to take back with us. It really was a perfect vacation, only not long enough.
