Thursday was a bittersweet day. Kelly had to go back to work, but it also meant another softball game on the Mall. It was a beautiful day in D.C. which made Kelly's 40 minute walk to work much more pleasant. The game was a success we won 16-6, and our team looked sharp both on offense and defense. It was a great night for softball and the Capitol provided a great backdrop for our field.

The weekend started off with a visit to the Postal Museum, that's right, a museum dedicated to the U.S. postal system. While a bit odd, it had a few interesting features.

(The postal museum has stamps!)

(The Postal Museum has mail trucks!)

 (The Postal Museum takes names and kicks butt.)

(Really, the Postal Museum has it all - even a post office.)

After the museum, we headed up to our favorite Thai place in Cleveland Park before attempting to get 9 holes of golf in. Unfortunately, the rain beat us to Rock Creek Park golf course and we had to postpone our round.  

We decided to head downtown to Macy's for a little wedding registry work. We tested out a few pillows and kitchen items while waiting for the storm to pass. Since we were downtown, we decided to head over to East Potomac Park golf course for our golf outing.  It had been over a year since either one of us had played golf, and that was apparent with our first tee shots. Kelly started off her round with 2 shanks. (This was good news for Ben who actually managed to win a hole.) After shaking off the rust, we both played fairly well and had a great time. The course is right on the Potomac river with a great view of the D.C. skyline. 

After our round we head home for dinner and a movie. Ben made fish tacos and we watched The Pianist. 

Sunday we headed to Georgetown for brunch. It was a wonderful brunch buffet that included the best french toast in the world. 

After stuffing ourselves, we decided to walk some of it off. We walked around M street and stopped in a few shops before heading down to the waterfront. We walked along the Potomac river walk and enjoyed the cool overcast breeze from the water. 

After Georgetown we got back to the apt in time for the start of the final round of the PGA championship.  Not a bad little weekend.
