Mini-vacation
I know I've told most people about my trip to D.C. the first weekend in April, but I wanted to share a few pictures after I finally got around to saving them on my computer. First, as with my trip, was a stop over at the zoo. I can't go there and not visit the zoo. I never get tired of looking at the animals, and this time was my first truly thorough trip through it. The baby panda was adorable! You could hear people awing from 50 yards away. He was driving his poor mama nuts by playing with her when she just wanted to rest on a tree branch. My photo wouldn't load right so I snagged this one from the National Zoo page. 
Then I spent a lot of time with the otters. I've always been a big fan of those critters. I used to tell my parents I would have one as a pet someday. That earned me the nickname "Ellie May"; I think she had an otter swimming in the Clampets' pool one time. Turns out I can speak otter. I made a whole bunch of noises at them and they talked back. It was pretty cool.
Then I headed out to a party in Adam's Morgan for one of my BFFs, Joelle. I got to meet her new beau, who was super nice. She's big time in love, and I'm really happy for her. We caught up on old times and had a few laughs. It was so good to see her again and have a little girl talk. Sometimes I forget how much I miss her and some of my other long-time girlfriends. Below is a pic of the two of us at Nolan's.
The next day my friend Bob and I did a little sightseeing. I was a big whiner because I'm not a fan of doing lots of walking outside when it's hot and it was pretty close to 80 and I was in jeans. But I endured and we went all through Arlington Cemetary before I met up with Joelle again and later headed to Pentagon City to visit KP. If you haven't ever been to the cemetary, check out JFK's grave, it's pretty cool.
KP and I did the usual -- did some partying, ran some errands and saw Ice Age 2. It was all good times. I can't believe it had been nearly a year since I saw him last.
Important note to all: Alias returns next Wednesday! I, of course, am ecstatic. Also, I'm planning on checking out What about Brian?, which starts Monday, with a special preview episode Sunday in place of Gray's Anatomy. It's J.J. Abrams' latest venture, and the guy created Felicity, Alias and Lost so I have high hopes that it will be fantastic. I only hope this show lasts longer than Love Monkey.
