Parents' Weekend
This week was uneventful from a Capitol Hill standpoint, but ridiculously eventful from any other. I got to see, in person, the Dalai Lama say the prayer on the Senate floor. We had Laredo Day, which hosted tons of Texans, lots of friends/coworkers, and TONS of free, delicious Mexican food. I gave several tours.
And now, my parents are here for the weekend. Yesterday, my coworker and I got lunch with them at Union, then my roommate and I met them for dinner at Good Stuff and took them to Walmart. Today, they got to my office around 1:45, and I gave them a tour of the Capitol, and then brought them back to the office to meet some of our staff that wanted to meet them. I left work a few minutes early to meet them and my mom's former boss at Ted's Bulletin, and then headed home for the night.
I pretty much intended to spend the night in my jammies, on my bed, with a tv episode and an early bedtime, but I ended up hanging out with my housemates and then watching Catching Fire with them. (Still in my jammies though.)
Now time for sleep. Meeting up with my parents at 11am tomorrow for some adventures before meeting my roommate, her family, and our housemate/friend at District Taco at five.
ALSO, learned that my friend Katherine is coming to DC and will be here for my birthday and the week after it. So basically, best week ever?
