Last week we were still running the heater, and this week we’re sweating in 80+ degrees. Last week, there were no blossoms on the trees in the neighborhood. This week, the blossoms are everywhere….

We were surprised during this past weekend’s stop at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. to catch Michelangelo’s David Apollo on the next to last day of its loan to the Smithsonian. Although David was rather small and unspectacular, it was pretty amazing to see a little piece of history. The Smithsonian is…

I didn’t get all that much time to see the sights during my 3-day stay in Washington D.C. this week….As a resident of the Washington D.C. metro area, I didn’t think I needed to “play tourist” during my Shot@Life trip, but I couldn’t help taking a few shots. The Shot@Life crew kept us very busy,…

Monday 2/11/13 was an incredible day. Together with over 100 women and men – bloggers, pediatricians, partner organizations, students, business owners – my group of 7 Maryland women walked up and down and back and forth on Capitol Hill, meeting with as many of our local Congressmen as we could. At the end of the…
