In “Parks and Recreation”, Leslie and April has a park bench by the pool (last season). Jim and I now got one too 🙂No water in the Reflection Pool this time either. I’m disappointed, but I managed to get some reflection anyway

Vi hade en riktigt harlig weekend i Washington DC. Eftersom vi har varit dar forut sa behovde vi inte stressa med att turista. Det ar valdigt skont att aka till ett stalle och inte behova kolla pa klockan eller att vara stressad over om man hinner med allt. 
Pa lordag eftermiddag motte vi upp Mike, Brook och deras foraldrar pa en gullig flea market och pa kvallen gick vi hem till M och B och kollade pa basket, at goda ostar och hemlagad pizza. Super relaxed och trevligt. Vi akte hem tidigt pa sondagen sa att vi kunde hamta Thor och mysa med honom resten av kvallen. 

We had a really nice weekend in Washington DC. Since we have been there before we didn’t need to stress with tourism. It is very nice to go to a place and where you don’t have to look at your watch or be stressed about that you don’t have time to do everything.
On Saturday afternoon we met up with Mike, Brook and their parents at a cute flea market and in the evening we went to M and B apartment and watch basketball, ate good cheese and homemade pizza. Super relaxed and nice. We went home early on Sunday so that we could get Thor and snuggle with him for the rest of the night. 

Vi bestamde oss for att ta bussen ner till Washington DC denna gang. Den tar ungefar lika lang tid som taget men har free wi-fi. Taget kostar nastan mer an att flyga, sa det var helt enkelt battre att ta bussen for $30 (istallet for typ $250). Det tar ungefar 4,5 timma att aka hit, vilket kan vara vart det for er som ska till NY pa semester och samtidigt vill aka ner till DC for en dag. Aka tidigt pa morgonen och hem sent pa kvallen. Dock far man rakna med att saker kan handa, som typ att man far punktering. Vi stod i nastan en timme pa en bensinmack och vantade pa att service skulle komma och att de skulle byta dacket. Men, men….
Igar kvall var vi pa engagement party for Mike och Brook. Valdigt mycket folk pa liten yta, men det var trevligt. Kul att traffa personer vi inte har sett pa ett tag och traffa nya intressanta manniskor.
Nu ar vi pa hotellet. Vi har atit brunch inne i city och promenerat runt turiststallen. Underbart vader har idag. Eftersom maken ligger och vilar nu tanker jag ga ner och kopa en kaffe och satta mig i solen en stund. 

We decided to take the bus down to Washington DC this time. It takes about the same time like the train and it has free wi-fi. The train costs almost more than flying, so it was simply just better to take the bus for $30 (instead of like $250). It takes about 4,5 hours to get here, which can be worth it for you who are going to NY on vacation and at the same time wants to go down to DC for one day. Leave early in the morning and home late at night. But, you have to count on that things can happen, things like a flat tire. We were standing for almost an hour at a gas station and waited for that service would come and for them to change the tire. Oh well….
Last night we were at an engagement party for Mike and Brook. A lot of people in a small space, but it was nice. Fun to see people we haven’t seen for a while and meet new interesting people.
Now we are at the hotel. We had brunch in the city and walked around tourist places. Lovely weather here today. Since my hubby is napping now I think I will go down and get a coffee and sit in the sun for a little bit.
