Happies

The last few months have been pretty stuffed full of random pieces of awesome that I definitely want to remember. So... here are my happies to remember:

  • waking up to bake muffins for Easter sunrise communion by the Potomac
  • watching the Royal wedding with a gaggle of girls before heading to work
  • Josh picking me up from work and bringing cupcakes
  • matching zombie shirts for Josh and me from friends
  • massive movie parties
  • sleeping in
  • yellow swim suits and beach towels
  • grouting tiles for a massive mosaic with my friends
  • walking down the street to 7-11 for slurpees and ice cream
  • laying by the pool reading Harry Potter (again)
  • garden gnome drive-by
  • party plotting
  • chocolate covered banana honey popsicles from Buzz
  • painting my toes while on the phone with Josh
  • cooking without kitchen appliances/gadgets
  • leaving the windows open
  • going for a run in the rain before the sun comes up
  • spending a foggy cloudy day at the beach with friends
  • stealing mint from friends' gardens
  • takeout and Redbox movie night

National Harbor

Have any of y'all ever been to National Harbor? It's on the Maryland side of the Potomac, just south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area and have a little time to kill.
I mean, there's still construction going on, and it's completely and totally created for tourists (in a city with a huge tourist draw to begin with), but there're definitely some fun things to see.
You can check out some gorgeous mosaics along the walls of the stairs leading down to the docks

Good cupcakes (though if you're in the DC area, Georgetown Cupcake is really the place to go for cupcakes)
