Hold Tight and Pretend It's a Plan: Hello Summer in DC

Ever since we got back from the beach, the weather has been so typical of DC during the summer. Hot, sticky, sweltering humidity during the day and thunderstorms just in time for the evening commute. I still do love summer in this area, though. There are SO many different events going on every weekend. There are outdoor movies, race events, farmers markets, and lots of opportunities for outdoor recreation. I went ahead and made a list of things I want to take advantage of this summer in DC:

Kels and Mike:

date night at a restaurant with piano music (Mike got us reservations at this little restaurant in Old Town that is supposed to have live piano music!)
spend a morning at a farmer's market and get things to cook for dinner (whatever looks good)
kayaking!
hiking (we were supposed to go with Kelly and Alex this weekend, but got rained out so we'll have to reschedule)
Because we've had SUCH a craving for good sushi: http://www.sushicapitol.com/
go to a trivia night!
make time to visit the zoo and museums
movies to see: Inside Out and Trainwreck

Just Kels:

Summer Cleaning
Outdoor Yoga
Having Tea with Kay and Absi (one of my coworkers recently got brunch at a fancy tea room and it sounded so amazing!)

Here are some pics from the past couple of weeks!

Success Team Reunion (my old coworkers) at The Big Board on H Street. Alicia just moved to Colorado last week! :(

Mike and I attempting to be healthy. We've been trying to abstain from sweets and alcohol since the beach, and while we haven't been perfect, we've DEFINITELY been chopping a ton of veggies every week.

Mike and I tried this new restaurant near our gym, Tazza Kitchen. They had amazing guac and happy hour specials. The pictures came out blurry because the humidity that night was unbelievable and the thunderstorm luckily ended right as we dinner did.
