We had a great time last weekend showing our friends Gretchen, Paul, Beth and Chris around D.C. The highlight of our trip was of course the fireworks on the mall which were amazing! We went sailing, ate plenty of seafood (too much for some!), found a Wisconsin style custard shop in VA, and enjoyed each others company. I was very proud of almost everyone who tried our favorite, raw oysters! We had a full on seafood feast at Buddy's in Annapolis including plenty of blue crab, oysters, crawfish, shrimp, mussels, clams, etc. It was phenomenal! I think it was seafood overload for some, so we stuck to some safer food the rest of the weekend. We had absolutely perfect weather all weekend (I believe they brought it with them because it was 'unseasonably cool' for D.C. July) and had plenty of time catching up and having fun. We all rode around all weekend in our station wagon, I think Gretchen and Paul got sick of riding backwards after awhile but we managed. We wish they didn't have to go, but we will be home soon and spend some more time together!
