A fun and eventful weekend is behind us! Saturday we decided on a trip to the National Zoo since we hadn’t been in a while. The new tiger cubs weren’t out, but two of the pandas, Mei Xiang and Tai Shan, were all kinds of photogenic for the crowds. Then we swung by the Rosslyn Jazz Festival later in the afternoon and enjoyed some good food and great music. The rest of the weekend was spent with the Tivo, making Sunday “lazy couch potato day.” I’m surprised I even bothered taking a shower. But really: big NASCAR and Formula 1 races, week one of [fantasy] football, new Simpsons, and new Family Guy. Can you blame me?
