To the Presidents

After an unsuccessful trip to Mt. Vernon (super crowded!) we scored a great parking spot right by the tidal basin in DC and spent the afternoon visiting the monuments and memorials to past Presidents Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and FDR. It was a great day for a walk around the basin! It's so awesome to live close to DC for stuff like this.

Misc. February

After Frank got back from CA last weekend we stayed around the marina doing maintenance and watching my Patriots lose the Super Bowl. Then something crazy must have happened...I somewhat consciously made the decision to attempt to re-make our bench cushions. Mind you I haven't sewn in years and don't ever recall sewing a zipper, but I'm going for it. We've ordered what seems like a million fabric samples and some of "the best" 4.5" thick foam for the seats. And to really top it off, Frank ordered me a Sailrite sewing machine (I tease that it was for Valentine's Day!) so I can do the cushions AND do some repairs to our dodger. Aghhhhhh! What have I gotten myself into?!?!??!

And to keep things interesting we ordered some foul weather gear that was a super deal on Overstock and went ahead and ordered the generator Frank has been wanting for what seems like years. Next up? Extended coastal cruise for spring break??? Please, weather! Cooperate!
