Welcome

Sticking with the Halloween theme today. My crafty (in a good way) neighbor made this for their door. Watch out for the little ghosts and goblins as you drive home tonight!

Halloween House

This person went all out on their Halloween decorations. Check it out in person if you are anywhere near Capitol Hill! You can find it at the corner of 13th St and South Carolina Ave SE.







Can't make it to DC? Check out the rest on flickr.

Upside Down

I think this is what my dog does while we are gone during the day.

Top of the World

At the summit of Old Rag Mountain.

Summit Nap

Jen and I hiked Old Rag Mountain in the Shenandoah this weekend. The weather was perfect! There are some tricky spots along the rock scramble, but it is definitely worth it. This is Jen resting at the top after we ate our turkey sandwiches. Be careful if you use the google map directions linked from the hikingupward.com page. We found out the hard way that Trails End Lane is actually a private drive that is blocked. We then spent a good 30-45 minutes driving on gravel roads looking for the parking lot. Coming from the DC area, instead of turning onto Rolling Road, go straight for about 5 miles and you will see signs for Old Rag.

Quote of the day: "That's what I do, dwell!" after Jen had asked me not to dwell on the fact that we got lost.
