Weekend

Okay, so I said I would post more about the bradley's trip up here over the weekend and that NEVER happened. Partly because we had no time to. Friday night Kevin and I went to a going away get together for a friend from grad school that moved to New Jersey on Sunday. Saturday morning we got up and went blueberry picking (thanks Kev.....he did it all for me since he doesn't eat blueberries and I LOVE them), then we came home and Kev went to work, while I went to a party at my grandmothers place for the afternoon. The party was the usual party with lots of food and entertainment. My cousin, Katie, and I spent time in the moon bounce, but my Nana wouldn't go in! :-) I got home from the party, and changed because we had tickets to see the Lion King on Broadway at the Kennedy Center (an early anniversary gift from my Mom...thanks Mom!). If anyone out there has a chance to see it, I highly recommend it. I saw it 10 years ago with my family in London and loved it, and I loved it even more this time around. Okay, here were are at Sunday. Sunday morning we had to ourselves (thank goodness), but at 12:45 we left to go to National's Park with our friends/neighbors to watch the Nationals play the Astros. The Nationals lost, but it still was a lot of fun going. The ballpark is new this year, and it is amazing! We got home from that game, got in the shower and then my mom came over and we went to see Mama Mia on Broadway at the National Theatre. Also, amazing....it is a lot of fun. From what I see with the movie coming out it is a lot like the play, so definitely see the movie, or the play! So, as you can see, there wasn't much time to blog, or even wipe our asses this past weekend. So, hopefully this weekend I can catch up and write more about their trip up here. Oh, on a side note, it rained all night on Sunday, and we have a leak in our roof right into our living room. There is about a 2 foot by 1 foot hole in our ceiling right now because of it. It is supposed to rain on Saturday, lets hope something is done by then! Ta-Ta for now!!!

medieval times

For a few years now, the Bradley's have been taking an annual vacation up here to the DC area to visit Kevin, Calla, and I. With coming so many times, we are trying to find different activities to do, or places to see. This time around, Kevin and I surprised everyone with a dinner at Medieval times in Maryland. We really thought that all the kids would enjoy it, not to mention we got a great deal on it. (Although they got us later with souvineers and drinks) But really, we saved about 300 bucks overall thanks to my Mom finding a loop hole great deal online. If you are not familiar with this show, it is played around the US (Vegas, Cali, Florida, Maryland, Georgia, Myrtle Beach, Jersery etc.). Right now, they have a deal of kids free with every paying adult! They have a dinner show with horses and knights that shows off skills such as jousting and sword fighting. You get a fairly good meal consiting of soup, garlic bread, chicken, ribs, potato, and an applie tart for dessert. Of course they don't call it what it is, they drop it on your plate calling it dragon, or falcons claw, etc. On a cute side note, Madi (the 6 year old) was afraid to eat the chicken because they told her it was dragon. :-) Overall, I would say it was a successfull suprise and evening. Here are a few pictures. I will be posting more about the trip....that is once I have my father, I mean, my husband off my back about going to bed. BTW...last time I checked i was 28 years old and didn't have a bedtime. :-D So, here are some pics of medieval times.

Sorry for the darkness in the pictures, but you get the idea. more to come over the weekend on other activities!
