Maine
I'm heading to Maine tomorrow to spend the week with my family. I'm beyond excited as I've never been to Maine, but have all kinds of glorified pictures in my mind of what it is going to be like. I'm imagining beautiful trees, rocky beaches, and as much lobster and seafood as you can eat. I pulled together a few Maine pictures of what I hope my vacation is like. If you have any Maine recommendations please leave them in the comments.

Weekend in Pictures
Happy Monday! I'm trying really hard not to dread work weeks and stop living just for the weekends. But its really hard. Especially now that the weather is nice and all I want to do is play outside!
Had a picnic at Iwo Jima this weekend. This is a great picnic spot with views of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and Capitol Building.
Had a little fun compiling multiple pictures into one.
I think Max Power enjoyed the picnic and relaxing at the park too.
Saturday Turner and I rode our bikes to check out H street's farmers market. This was my first time biking in the city and I have to say it wasn't too bad! Still need to get used to it though!
It was at the end of the market though so a lot of vendors were out of stuff. So then we headed over to Eastern Market.
And to pick up a few more things for a fresh yummy lunch we went to the grocery store.
I waited outside with the bikes and our farmers market goods. While waiting I noticed the fun textures and colors of the bike rack and pavement.
After our farmers market lunch we took another ride over the Anacostia and back around by the Nats stadium. I got in lots of city biking practice this weekend!
Saturday night my friend from North Carolina was in town so we took her out to H. Street. I usually try to take all my out of town friends to Sticky Rice because their sushi is just so darn good.
Yes we are immature and still play with our food.
Sunday morning I had brunch at Matchbox with my bible study girls. Most people don't know that Matchbox has a seriously banging brunch and is not just a pizza place. And on Sundays they have live jazz music. I love their cinnamon buns that come in a skillet.
Another exciting happening of this weekend that I don't have pictures of is my sister had her baby on Sunday! Its been a roller-coaster week for my family with the passing of our dog and the birth of a new little boy! We are extremely excited for my sister, brother-in-law and their new addition to the family. Unfortunately I can't meet the little dude until our family vacation in July. But I'm counting down the days and beyond thrilled for my big sis!

Weekend in Pictures
This weekend was an amazingly beautiful weekend in DC. Besides the short thunderstorm on Friday I barely spent any time indoors, which equates to the perfect weekend to me!
Friday night I had a girls night where we all brought ingredients to make pizza and watched a chick flick. The perfect activity when its the end of the week and storming outside.
Saturday we spent the day at Breaux Vineyards in Virginia with a group of friends. It was seriously on of the most perfect days. We do this sort of thing almost every other weekend in the summer and I highly recommend it as the perfect group activity out of the city.
I made to share with the group strawberry crumb bars from the strawberries I purchased at the farmers market. You are allowed to bring outside food as long as you don't sit on the patio so we all brought our own picnics. (Recipe adapted from this blueberry crumb bar recipe)
It was dog day at the vineyard so we brought Max along. (Though you can bring your dogs any day) He ended up chewing through his leash when we weren't looking and we had no choice but to let him run free. Luckily he makes friends easily and by the end of the day half the vineyard knew him by name.
Relaxing at the vineyard.
I was sneaky and got a group shot from afar.
Several rows of grapes were open for us to roam up and down with. So I ran back and forth with max.
Katie with max in tow.
Max loved running up and down the vineyard rows.
Sunday we took our bikes to Rock Creek Park. I had never been, but there are some amazingly beautiful bike/walking paths.
The paths run along with a creek which makes it extra beautiful and relaxing.

Good Morning: Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day!
I'll leave you with an Ingrid song lyric that I love, about love.
<3 Katie
"Baby you've got the sort of laugh
that waters me
And makes me grow tall
and strong and proud
and flattens me
I find you stunning" - Sort Of, Ingrid Michaelson
