Finally! Together again...
On Friday, before Derek arrived, we went out with Sohail's and my good friends from childhood (different ones obviously).
Alicia, a friend from law school and Sarah, a friend from USC.
Sarah and Barney have been in DC all summer for internships and sadly haven't made it on the blog yet. But that's not because I haven't loved having them here or seeing them regularly. Maybe I was just saving the best for last....
Sohail's friends from elementary school
On Saturday, after Derek arrived, we surprised him with a fun event. He had to guess what it was... It didn't take him long so I'll let you guess as well. Here are Derek, Sohail, Sarah and Barney at the start of the event.
Barney and Sarita
And different they were...
And different they were...
The three of us waiting for the next float to arrive.
If you haven't guessed yet, it was a gay pride parade. It was fantastic. In typical DC fashion, the first 10 or so floats / participants were political candidates running for reelection including our mayor and "representative" in Congress. They were followed by about as many church groups and family groups. Then came floats like this one with dancers and the like. It rained on our parade (literally) but it was still a blast!
Sunday, Derek and I visited museums and the National Aquarium. Here he is feeding a duck. By the end of this feeding session we were surrounded by about 20 birds of all different types and one ate out of Derek's hand...
The aquarium. They even have a man fish on display...
One of the best exhibits we saw was of "hidden treasures" from the national museum in Kabul, Afghanistan: http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/afghanistaninfo.shtm

I highly recommend both to anyone in DC.
