So the weekend was a success all around! Friday night the Sweet One and I headed to Baltimore to see my friend's band Jay Jay. They are a 10 piece funk band. Very similar to The Brand New Heavies, if you are familiar with them at all. I am friends with the lead singer, and of course, they rocked...

Here they are setting up and getting ready to perform:

Here they are breakin it down - Julie on lead vocals...


Saturday the Sweet One and I got up and worked out...we're so disciplined some times! HA! Then we headed down town. It was an AMAZING day! In the mid 70's and just plain old perfect out. We started at the American Indian Museum and here is one of the maybe 3 pictures I took...how appropriate huh? A totem pole!

Okay, seriously, there were some really great exhibits but my favorite were the sculptures and American Indian inspired art work. This is a HUGE Indian raising his pipe in prayer - hand made, by one man, out of bronze. Apparently it was given to Hillary Clinton as a gift and then lived in the vice prezzy's house until given to the museum:

Then we went outside and I decided to get all crazy with the camera. This really is an amazing city. Here are some of my photos, whether you want to see them or not...

The Capitol

a little spot on The Mall


The Cap at dusk


The Monument at dusk

My fave shot of the capitol at night fall

(this one may be given out as a X-mas gift! ha ha..

merry x-mas mom and dad~)

Anyway, we never made it to the aquarium. We went to the National Gallery of Art instead. It's one of my favorite spots and somehow things are always better with the Sweet One so it was a really great day. Yeah, Yeah, I know, I sounds totally cheesy...get over it bitches!

On a much less gay note, went to the Skins vs. Eagles game last night. It was a BLAST! It was nice to see all of the asshole eagles fans leave with their heads hung low. I've felt it all too often so it was a nice twist of fate. Got home close to 1am and I am pretty exhausted today. Hope everyone had a great weekend...
