An Afternoon in Annapolis

Sometimes you've just gotta get away. Annapolis is a short drive from DC, but it feels like you're in a completely different world. Jackie and I went out there with her cousin Rich, his girlfriend Lauren, and their friend Julia.

Rich and Lauren are such a cute couple

This girl is just too beautiful!

Lovely ladies makin' it a great afternoon

Cousins reppin' lil Rhody

And to top off the afternoon, we all went for frozen yogurt. It was a nice, relaxing day and we had a lot of fun hanging out and telling stories and shooting the breeze. Maybe we'll have to make escapes to Annapolis a more regular event.

Summer Concert #4: Tim McGraw

For the Tim McGraw concert, we had some new additions to our group. Jackie's cousin Rich brought his friends Annie, Brenan, and Lauren.

Our tailgate was fun, and we got there earlier, so we had a pretty sweet spot closer to the entrance.

Once inside, we continued making friends, and here is a group of (potentially underage) ladies that took a liking to our fellas. I think Wes even saw the girl in yellow once after the concert, or maybe more, so that's a win, eh?

Jess and her boyfriend Bryce made it, so they livened things up a little bit more, too. That little Jess is just a ball of fun waiting to be let loose on the unsuspecting masses, and being around Wes and Dan is a good way to make that happen.

Aw, don't Lauren and Rich make a cute couple? I sure think so.

Gotta love a good Rhode Island romance.

And then there's Jackie and me. Just doin' our thing and enjoying a good show.

It was another successful concert, and Tim McGraw put on a great show for us all!

4th of July Weekend

Saturday

Birthday: Jackie's cousin Rich had his birthday party in DC, and we had a good time chilling on the rooftop and then dancing down in the basement. It's easy to see why so many friends came; Rich is a great guy and very friendly. Happy birthday, buddy!

Sunday

Flowers: I got Jackie some red and white flowers, just for fun. Isn't she just the cutest?

BBQ: Some of Rich's friends live in Eastern Market and hosted a shindig with pong and cornhole, and of course plenty of delicious food. Cool item of the night: cornhole set was equipped with lights, which was genius, especially considering how we were playing in a tiny and poorly-lit alleyway.

Fireworks: The BBQ was right down the street from the US Capitol, so we were able to run down and see the fireworks when it was time (though we left a little later than planned and ended up seeing most of the show while running). After the show was over, we took some time to get pictures with our famous backdrop.

Monday

Hiking: The Great Falls area is only 45 minutes outside of DC, and Jackie, Justin and I ventured up there and checked out the dividing line between Maryland and Virginia. After seeing things from the trail, we decided to do some bouldering along the river. We didn't get eaten by a bear or bitten by a snake, and we had one minor ankle sprain, so we can declare our outdoor adventure was a success.
