whirlwinds

Matt and I just had a insanely packed weekend. And it was also full of sweets and cake.

Day 1 was spent with an old friend from high school and a new friend from work; and the day proved to be quite an adventure. It included a walking tour of historic Georgetown; eating French-Belgian-Asian food (our meal included French crepes, bubble tea, and Belgian fries - though we also had British and Indian options); visiting the National Book Festival, which turned out to be a huge event, and while there, snapping a picture with Dr. Sanjay Gutpa and waiting in line for a bit to meet Terry Pratchett (a fave author of ours, known for "Good Omens" and "Going Postal") - but since there were probably a thousand people in line we got tired of waiting and just left; munching on cakes and cupcakes at the Cakelove "Love Cafe"(made famous by the Food Network); going to/playing at a soccer game; watching the GT-Clemson game at an alumni event; and going to a surprise birthday party to eat more food and cake...(breathe)...

Day 2 wasn't as packed but not quite the restful sabbath we were expecting. It started with an 8 am breakfast with an old friend, a lunch get-together with another old friend whom we haven't seen in about 2+ years, buying a new car battery because the SUV battery couldn't be any deader, and finally going to church (a young adults ministry) here - first time in about a month since we've been out of town a lot. All in all, quite a fun and hectic weekend. I realize some people do stuff like this on the weekends all the time and consider it normal - I don't know how they do it! More pics here.
