Spring Break.

I am in one of those careers that has built in holidays. I really needed a week off, here came spring break. While I don't want to brag...I think everyone deserves a spring break. Should we adopt the French way of life...I believe they have a 40 weeks of work per year. What are we doing working 50. And who really takes their 2 week vacation these days?

Now, as a teacher I have this whole week off. I went to Washington, DC this past weekend to hang out with my parents. We went to the natural history museum, saw the cherry blossoms, went to the air and space museum, sat at the Hirshorn museum, bought a digital camera, found awesome fabric at G Street Fabrics. As far as meals, we had two awesome meals. One was at the Lost Dog Cafe, one was at Sweet Water Tavern, and the last was at the Dog Fish Grill. Yummy.

I then drove north to a small town just a bit past Baltimore to Abingdon. Here is where I spend 2.5 days with a college roommate, Jess, her husband and 5.5 month old, Mikaela. It was so fun hanging out with a stay at home mom and her daughter.

As far as this weekend, more college friends. Chris and Leah will be here later tonight. I am so excited here is the menu for the weekend.

Friday Dinner: Vegetable Enchiladas, Guacamole, Refried Black Beans, Salsa, and Chips.
Friday Dessert: Chocolate cake or Ice Cream (Moose Tracks)

Saturday Breakfast: Pancakes, Bacon or Sausage, Eggs, Toast, Coffee
Saturday Lunch: Chicken Salad in toasted bread bowls, Grapes, Apples, Root Beer

Now that I have a digital camera...I start to document more of my life.
