This past weekend was sooo wonderful. I had surprised Brendan and Konrad with a weekend get-a-way to Washington, D.C. We stayed at the Fairfax at Embassy Row, which was very luxurious. We were upgraded to a king suite, which was super sweet! I had thought that staying in the heart of all the embassy's would be nice and romantic, we could stroll the streets looking at all the different countries' buildings. We had stumbled upon an Irish pub, I had my Guinness and Bren tried a couple different beers, then we stumbled down embassy row. We later ate at the Old Europe Restaurant, the best German restaurant in D.C. I snarfed down a big juicy pepper steak, Brendan had the Schlachtplatte, and Konrad had Spatezel (his favorite). The next morning, we went to the Finnish Embassy for a children's event "I Kid You Not-Kids and Teens in Finland", which featured the Moomin and some of his friends (Finland's equivalent to Disney characters - but so much better than Disney (except that Little Mermaid, yes Brendan...), music and Finnish children's lifestyle exhibits, Marimekko pillows and play areas... oh it was such a great time. Here is a short slide show of our adventures!
