4th of July Weekend

This may be my only 4th of July IN the Nation's Capitol, so I decided we had to make it count!

On Saturday we had Dave's family over for a BBQ and some fireworks.

We started the day by going mountain biking on the easiest trail possible in the whole world. That's the only way Dave could get me to go. Ends up it was pretty fun, and I asked Dave if we could wake up early tomorrow morning and go again before he heads off to work!

In the afternoon we painted a shelf that I have been wanting to paint for a year... it looks so much better.

And around dinner time we headed in to DC for some Shake Shack! Remember my post a while back asking why that hadn't come to DC yet? Well, it had! I just didn't know it until a few days later when Dave came home from work telling me a coworker had just been there in DC. Oh WOW! It was yum!

(Can kind of see it in the background right next to the guitar place).

We were going to go to fireworks at the Mall, but I don't like crowds and it looked like there was going to be A LOT of crowds there, so we opted to ride the Metro home and go to fireworks right by our house. I'm glad we did because it ended up being a great show that we watched from the comfort of our own car right in front of Fuddruckers. The whole time I was looking through the window thinking how unfortunate those people were eating their Fuddrucker's hamburgers when there are burgers like shake shack in this world. Sad.

Happy Independence Day Weekend!
