Back from another wonderful weekend in D.C., this time, in part, for the National Pride weekend festivities (dyke march, pride parade, PrideFest). In other parts; to see good friends, meet new ones and relax!
Friday was a great home cooked dinner by L, Saturday a lovely balcony breakfast in the sunshine - again courtesy of L, followed by a Metro (yes, Metro, as in subway - ew) ride to Dupont Circle to rendevous with more friends and walk to our destination, a cute little bar/restaurant named The Fox n Hounds - where we stayed all day, through the march and the parade, until the evening. Later a group of 6 of us headed to Open City for a bite to eat and then we parted ways for the night. S, L and i played "way over tired scrabble" (at which i am terrible) and crashed.
Sunday we all slept in, grabbed a bagel and coffee and drove to Pride Fest. It was fun seeing all the people, listening to music, gathering inclusive ideas and curricula for my own classroom and school. i actually have one school's handbook with all the objectives and textbooks!
Then it was off to the pub to hear D and R play, meet R and grab a bite to eat. This needs its own entry so i won't go on and on about it right now. Suffice to say... terrific, which really is to say nothing. Stay posted.
Back to the apt with the roomies, and 2 friends came over to watch TransAmerica. Great flick, so well done. Reading, cuddles, chatting and a very late crash time. Monday brought an exceptionally loud dawn chorus so i was up early. i finished the book i'd brought, packed and got ready to go. After a bagel and coffee we were off to the airport and i was homeward bound.
