DC List Update

The countdown has officially begun: In less than 1 month Michael Ball and I will set foot on Moldovan soil! (With Ronaldinho following shortly thereafter)

I should really change the title of this list to a USA/Western Hemisphere List and not call it a DC List because I can't even restrain myself to the US, much less the DC Area. Here is a compilation of the first two lists I created:

  • Go to the Textile Museum
  • Go camping in Shenandoah with Dane & Val (& the pups, this time prepare better so that the bears don't steal all our food again)
  • Go to RisikaCuba Libre & an assortment of other restaurants (have a reservation for Risika later this month)
  • Go up to Philadelphia & possibly New York City, possibly plan a College Roommate get-together {am sorta doing this}
  • Go back to Chicago at least once {went in June, going again in September)
  • Go to Costa Rica to visit the parents
  • See the big {fat & naked} man sculpture at the Hirshhorn Museum if he is ever on exhibit again...
  • Start striking through things on my blog because, according to Val, that's the "in" thing to do with blogs right now...
  • Go Kayaking on the Potomac {went twice!}
  • Go Berry-Picking and/or visit Polyface Farm in VA {from The Omnivore's Dilemma)
  • Go camping/visit Assateague Island
  • Go to Rita's Water Ice on "H" Street

It looks like I will not get around to doing some of the things on my list but I did somehow manage to squeeze in two trips to Montreal, a weekend getaway to MD to spend with a college roommie, a day trip to PA to visit the in-laws, a week-long trip to Chattanooga, and am going on a mega-road trip at the end of this month (DC--> OH--> IL--> MI--> PA--> VT--> NYC--> DC) to be completed in about 10 days and did I mention I'll be bringing my dog with me? It will give me exactly two days to pack up my life before the movers get there. Yep.
What can I say? I am definitely a Scott; it's kind of how we roll.
Oh yeah, and I am supposedly fluent in Romanian now. Bam.


*This entry has the added challenge of having been completed in Spanish {on the back end at least, thanks to Google auto-detecting my location--I am writing on my Mom's laptop, overlooking the mountains of Costa Rica from my parent's living room}.
