A Kid That Tells On Another Kid Is A Dead Kid (Washington, DC)


My first stop in DC was at Kristin's place to unwind from the 4 hour plus car ride. She introduced me to my favorite new TV show, Weeds. Then we went to Dos Gringos for dinner. Kristin works for the school district and helps kids with their fine motor skills but she really wants a job fitting helmets on babies with misshaped heads. (Thanks for putting me up for the weekend, Kristin!)


Black bean and lentil mash wrap. And yes, the black beans look did look purple.


Kristin likes her caffeinated beverages.


Even though is was too cold to enjoy a Slurpee, it is exciting to be back in the land of 7-11s and Dunkin' Doughnuts.


The next morning we had brunch at Asylum with Jordon, Kevin, and Michelle (not pictured).


Ayslum has a full page vegan brunch menu. On our left is a non-vegan french toast and on our right is a vegan french toast. The only problem is that I am sitting on the left, in front of the non-vegan french toast. No wonder mine tasted so good. Thanks to the server for screwing that one up.


Next, Michelle and I went to Georgetown to track down the elusive Chris Gerloch who is a friend and old employee. We stopped to take this picture on the way.


We found him playing this guitar.


One the way back to meet up with Kevin and Jordon we stopped to see the Washington Monument and the Reflecting Pool.


Kevin brings his slack lining set up where ever he goes. These guys are good.




I just look like a tool.


Michelle does it with stlye.


Nap at Michelle's before making food.


Off to a puppet show and then to a post Halloween costume party. Six people crammed in Michelle's VW Golf. Michelle got to squeeze into the back truck area.


Bread and Puppets is a puppet troop from VT. The show was free and it was super entertaining.

Our weak, last minute costume idea. A Van Grossbrownelford Family Picture.


The next morning before brunch we walked to the Dupont Circle Farmer's Market. More types of kale than I ever knew possible.
