And I am the Rain King: Georgetown Waterfront Park

One of our new favorite weekend breakfast spots has become La Madeleine in Georgetown.  It's not close  to our house, but it's close(ish) to daddy's office and we frequently have errands to run in that 'hood on the weekend.  On a recent rainy morning we hit it up early and walked down to the Georgetown Waterfront Park after.  We knew that there had been a lot of work done on the waterfront recently and wanted to check it out, but once we saw the water feature, we didn't make it much further.  Despite the fact that Kane was in his Superman jammies and I was freezing in my bee dress that I had insisted on wearing (although my rain coat kept me a little dry), Kane and I ran through and jumped and splashed in the fountain of sorts for at least 20 minutes.  Most passerbys glared at mom and dad like "isn't it a little chilly for that?"  But it was 9 a.m., about to rain, and our 'rents were already tired.  So they figured what the H.  They finally dragged us out when it really started to rain and we had to hightail it home.  But we'll be back in our swimsuits this summer!

I'm On A Boat: Potomac Riverboat Cruise

It was pouring rain this year during our planned visit to see the cherry blossoms, so we decided to see what we could see under cover on a Potomac Riverboat cruise.  Kane was a little cautious, but I spent most of the time leaning over the railing, catching rain drops on my hands (and arms and face).  And Kane came around once mom bought him cheetos.  It was a quick little trip up the Potomac and back to Georgetown Harbor (from where the cruise leaves and returns), which was good because it was actually pretty chilly.  We didn't see many cherry blossoms, but didn't care much.  And as we pulled back in to harbor, mom and dad let us go out in the rain on the bow.  Hopefully they'll take us back on a sunnier day!
