Cynically Optimistic

This past weekend I was also lucky enough to catch the end of the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. Saturday was rainy, and I wasn't about to brave nasty weather just to see the parade. Tom and I had to get to Richmond anyway. Friday night, however, we hung out at Titan with Bob, Rich, Joe, Carl, Devlin, Cary, and I'm sure a bunch of folks I've forgotten to mention. After dinner at Thai Chef (mmmm... sushi), we headed to Remmington's to hang with Mr. Bartender, Carl, and Sean. Allegedly, I haven't seen this place in full effect, but I still have a great time when I go. One of these days I'm going to get brave and try to two-step.

It's a fun stumble home via the US Capitol, and Tom and I re-met up with fellow drunks when we were almost home. Fun stumbling photography on Capitol Hill could have kept me out all night.

Saturday was Richmond. Sunday's drive back to DC was much more enjoyable than the drive down. We toured historic downtown Fredricksburg and had lunch at an deserted sports bar. I forced Tom to stop and experience the suburban joys of Super Wal-Mart. Scary? You betcha! Later we decided to brave our way into Potomac Mills and our shopping circuit breakers quickly tripped and we got back in time for me to catch up on the important things in life. Yes, The Soprano's. Thank you HBO OnDemand!

Now it's time for some sleep! More pictures are posted here.
