it pours!!!!! And, no, I am not talking about the funky weather/storm system that seems to be plaguing the DC area as of late.
Nope, we've got our own rainstorm going on right in our house.
Here's what the last couple of weeks have brought us.....
and head to DC...
GEORGETOWN CUPCAKES (also known as DC Cupcakes on TLC channel)!!!!
but before we could eat our treasured prize, we decided that we should eat a real lunch first. Fresh hot crepes were just the ticket!
When we finally got home, we broke out the cupcakes, eager to split them into sample size pieces so we could try all the flavors. Too bad the stifling 65 degree heat melted them to smithereens.

So other than bawling about our quickly emptying bank account, Cami and I decided to break out the umbrella....
then on to a place we'd always wanted to visit, but never quite gotten around to yet....

There's nothing quite like drowning your worries in miles of walking around DC, topped off with miles of frosting....
but before we could eat our treasured prize, we decided that we should eat a real lunch first. Fresh hot crepes were just the ticket!
After lunch, we were rushed and had to head back quickly for a windy walk back to the Metro....
I think this might be a self-portrait of us crossing the Key Bridge, but I can't really say for sure if it's us or not....
When we finally got home, we broke out the cupcakes, eager to split them into sample size pieces so we could try all the flavors. Too bad the stifling 65 degree heat melted them to smithereens.
It was then that I decided...to heck with bills, bank accounts, and ruined cupcakes...
It's time to break out the Three Wolf Moon shirt and snarf down cupcake crumbs with style and reckless abandon!
Just in case you're wondering, I think the salted caramel/lemon/red velvet combo was my favorite. YUM!
Whoa! It certainly is pouring in your house. Sure hope the sun starts shining soon. At least you did something fun?? by going downtown in the wind and the rain. Like the picture of Cami holding up the Washington monument.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to your corolla? I don't think I've heard that story. Is Spence driving now?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about everything Lara! I hope things stop breaking gosh darn it!
That picture is amazing! How on earth is Georgetown Cupcake going to survive a DC summer!
ReplyDeleteOh no - on so many levels! Sorry about all the expenses that have come up. Losing everything on your computer can't be fun and what happened to your poor car? And what sad, sad cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteI'd say this homeschooling thing is really working out for you guys. A field trip downtown and to Georgetown cupcakes is right up my alley. Can I be one of your students? =)
Oh and where do you get those yummy crepes downtown? Looks like something I should try out!
Wow- that's a lot of rain! Despite all the bad news in this post, reading your blog really makes me miss DC! Can we come back and join your homeschool? I hope things are looking up!

ReplyDeleteYou had my sympathy from the very beginning--losing everything on the computer is my fear, yet it doesn't motivate me enough to stay on top of regular saving of important info. And huge car repairs? For two cars? Double ouch! But a dozen ruined gourmet cupcakes? Now that is more than anyone should have to bear. I'm so sorry for your loss.
