Softball and Dancing

After our fun on the 4th, I had to say goodbye Sarah. It was great to have her visit and I was sad to say goodbye. I spent the rest of the weekend recovering from my whirlwind days.

Tuesday the 8th was another big day – a softball game and a trip to Wolftrap to see the Paul Taylor dance company. First, the softball game… our game was held on the National Mall at 7th and Jefferson, just between the Washington Monument and the Capitol building. It was so much fun to play on the lawn and be able to look over and see the Capitol! The pictures didn't turn out very well, so you will have to wait until next time to see the evidence...

Unfortunately, I had to leave the game a bit early to meet my roommate to head out to Wolftrap. Wolftrap is an outdoor theater that offers a variety of performances from Kenny G - to Rent - to the Paul Taylor dance company. We had box seats (thanks to my roommate’s sister), so when we arrived we visited Ovations, an outdoor cafĂ© decorated with teak, serving hors d’oeuvres and wine. We relaxed in Ovations for a few minutes and then headed to our seats. The seats were great, and the venue was beautiful (you’ll have to visit the website if you want to see pictures). The weather was perfect for an outdoor show. The show itself was okay – the dance company was good, but their routines were relatively slow and not particularly moving. That certainly didn’t stop us from having a great time!
