My sweet Lucy

We've been having discussions about "crazy cat ladies" at work lately. I'm pretty sure that's because most of us ladies, well, we are a bit crazy about our cats. I'm not sure if we fit the "crazy cat lady" stereotype, but if I do, I'm okay with that because my girl Lucy, sure is sweet!

Eastern Market, Detroit in April

A few photos from last weekend's trip to the market. The market is in full effect and renovations in the surrounding village are looking great!

Hey, lookey here! It's my AnnArbor.com co-worker Tom Perkins peddling his homemade pickles! And I can vouch, they are tasty! Check him out!

Spring trip to Washington, D.C.

I once again ventured off to our nation's capital for some time with my bud Emily and a few adventures.

On Saturday, we made our way downtown to the Washington Mall for the annual kite festival. It's hard to see in these photos, but believe me when I tell you, there were hundreds and hundreds of kites flying. I think my favorite part of the festival was pointing out my new favorite kite every five minutes! :)

We also checked out the Old Post Office, taking two elevators and 130 steps to the very top of the bell tower.

Absolutely worth the effort to see this view!

I wanted to travel to D.C. this spring in hopes of catching a glimpse of the famous cherry blossoms trees in bloom. But due to the awesome early spring weather we've all enjoyed, they bloomed early! I may have missed the cherry blossoms (I'll get you next year, ya hear!) but I did come across an orchid exhibit at the botanical gardens.

Check out this cool flower, a powder puff!

But this, by far, was the highlight of the gardens for me. A pineapple!

What would a blog post about a great trip be without a photo of some yummy grub? Here's a photo from a place called Amsterdam, a build-it-yourself falafel sandwich.

And of course, my generous hosts, the newly married Emily and Adam!
