My lovely sister Kakalina came to visit me. It was a much needed visit. I needed a sister to love, argue with and cuddle. I felt more at home in DC than I have probably since Kristen came out last year.
I also think I took more pictures during K's visit than I have during the last year put together. So here's some of the fun.
First things first, we made delicious California-shaped sugar cookies. Let it be known that we also made these beautiful and tasty treats without a mixer. FYI, Hill's Kitchen by Eastern Market sells cookie cutters of most of the 50 states.
San Diego got ate up. ^^^^
K loved the Kennedy Center just as much as I do. I wish we would have had time to see a good performance. Isn't the Opera House chandelier incredible? FYI, the KC sells a Christmas ornament in the design of this chandelier, of which my mother is a proud owner.
The Benjamin Franklin reception room. After many attempts I finally made it in. And of course they were setting up for an event so we couldn't really go in and look at the room. One day I'll really get to go in.
At the George Mason Memorial behin the Tidal Basin. It seems that this memorial is a well-kept secret. Did you know George Mason actually penned much of the language used in the Declaration of Independence? George Mason penned the Virginia Declaration of Rights. Read both and you will easily discover the similarities. And yet Georgie sits in the shadow of Thomas Jefferson's prominent memorial on the Tidal Basin.
She's staring at a dead fish. For real. Check it out below.
K did not want me to take this picture.
Or this one.
Or this one.
Or this one.
Oh but she wanted me to take this one. Can't you tell?
