Sister Weekend - part 1

Last weekend my sister Kelly came to visit and spend the weekend in DC. I wanted to surprise her by picking her up at the airport with her favorite car – a convertible Mini Cooper, and ZipCar was happy to help. (By the way, I love being a zipcar member, and if you use the link on this page to sign up we both get a $25 driving credit!)


I’ve never driven a convertible before and once I got my hair to stop flying in my face, I really enjoyed it! The drive from DC to Baltimore was beautiful, and the weather was perfect. It was the best way to start our sister weekend!

Once we got back from the airport, we dropped off the car and headed toward the International Spy Museum. We stopped for a picture on the Mall…



And eventually made it downtown to the Spy Museum. I had been last year with Chris, but it had been so packed that it was hard to see everything. This time it was far less crowded, and Kelly and I really enjoyed learning everything about being a spy. We decided that we would both be terrible spies. In one part of the museum, they suggested different ways to alter your appearance – a hat, glasses, squinting your eyes… Here we are using those strategies – I know you can barely recognize us!



We grabbed a bite to eat and headed to the American Art Museum and Portrait Gallery. After a few hours there, we were ready to head home – after a quick stop at Red Velvet Cupcakery – Yum!
