We didn\’t have dinner plans for my birthday, and at the last minute we decided to get dressed and go out. We called Dux over at the Peabody hotel on I drive and they were still open. There was a terrible

Cibo Matto – Sugar Water video
My friend Jeffrey had this on his videography blog and I thought it was awesome!
It is the same video side by side – just one in forward and the other in reverse. Check it out:
What a self portrait!
My dad sent me an email with tons of incredible photos of airplanes. One of my favorites was this self portrait. I love that his name tag says “photographer” under his name. What a great job that guy
Whole Foods opens in Orlando
Today was the long awaited grand opening of Whole Foods in Orlando. Lucky for us – it is so close we could ride our bikes there! The only other Whole Foods in town is in Winter Park – about 30 minutes
I am scared of vaccinations

Blue Duck Tavern, Washington DC
After a day of exploring DC by foot, we got in the car and talked about where to eat. We didn\’t want to lose an hour and a half driving back to Annapolis to change into dress clothes, so we picked a
Potato Valley, Annapolis
Since I clearly love food and trying new food, I need to start a food blog!
We found a place in Annapolis called Potato Valley and they have the BEST baked potatoes! Look at these things! It is like
Sex and the City Party
I have a Sex and the City theme party to attend and I was trying to figure out what to wear. We went and saw the movie this week since we knew they would be talking about it at the party and I didn\’t
Chris just saved a Mockingbird
We were about to go ride bikes when Chris yelled “Oh no” with a sad voice. I asked him what it was and he said a Mockingbird had just been hit by a car out front. The other Mockingbird kept hoping around
A Night out with Melissa
We went out one night for dinner with Melissa (she loves food as much as I do – can you believe it?!) and it was so funny to talk about the food and the taste and what they used to make it, etc. I didn\’t
Penalties for DUI
I\’ve been posting a lot of “soap box” topics lately and Chris and I had a discussion on DUIs today. We agreed that if the penalties were strict, people wouldn\’t continue to do it. Last week a car hit
Two Buck Chuck
I\’d heard about this “two buck chuck” wine from Trader Joe\’s but since we didn\’t have one in Florida I\’ve never seen it or tried it. We went to Trader Joe\’s while in DC and bought the Trader Joe\’s

Philly Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia
As we headed out of Philly, we realized we had not eaten a cheesesteak! So we stopped and got one for breakfast. I\’m glad we tried it, but it really isn\’t all that. I don\’t know what the big hoopla
I lost a tire tonight
Chris came and begged me to drive him to McDonald\’s tonight. At 2am. And I agreed. Bad idea! The McDonald\’s he loves (and the one that is open 24 hours) is right next to a construction site. We

A Tour of Philadelphia
Since we had one day to check out the town, we decided the best way to do it was a tour. We picked the double decker bus and it was a hop-on, hop-off option that we liked. It had a few downsides – the
Cafe Ole, Philadelphia
As we headed out on the town to tour Philadelphia, we stopped at a local place called Cafe Ole. Since it was a weekday, people were mainly ordering pre-made stuff from the counter and coffee. But we
Solution: Google Calendar
