For the last three weeks, we have been renovating our backyard by adding a deck and patio. Hopefully everything will wrap up by the end of this week. What do you think?

DC BBQ Battle

On June 27, we headed down to the annual DC BBQ Battle for some yummy lunch and then went over to the waterfront to check out the seafood selection . . .


There was a ton of food at the BBQ Battle from foot long corn dogs to turkey legs to funnel cakes to ribs of all kinds! . . .




Then we enjoyed some fresh oysters and crab cakes at the waterfront . . .



Noah had a ton of fun with his Daddy . . .


We even saw the President's helicoptor, Marine One . . .


GREAT family outing with the hubby and baby :)
