March In Photos


Love watching the sky transform outside our apartment windows.
Kitchen counter conversations.  Tanner & Stefani stayed with us for a week while they house hunted.

Wintry walk at Sandy Point.
Pierce dancing to let out energy, only to immediately regain it.


Walking around DC.  
Proof that I was walking around DC too.  On a sunny day.  With no sunglasses.  And that Matt and I are equally photogenic.

Group photo opp at the Lincoln Memorial after listening to Jeremy speak Mandarin with Asian tourists.
Tea time!  Hillary and I had a special day together.
Jasmine tea with cream and sugar.
Sandwiches, quiches and scones oh my!
Still love those ever changing cloud views.
Hilleremy
Order pasta in Baltimore's Little Italy, not Coke.
Manna
A lovely evening out at the symphony.

You have to have a laptop to hang with this crew.
The TV was probably turned on too.
Relaxing at the airport before flying to Waco.
Dr. Cleaver was our taxi from Dallas to Waco.  Within minutes after arriving, we were here at Rudy's.
Eating this.  Matt could have gone home happy then and there.
BBQ, law enforcement (complete with cowboy hats), sports on TV and a Texas shaped neon sign.  Yep, we were back.

(FYI: Rudy's was Matt's favorite restaurant in town.  He still refers to how good their meat is weekly.)

Back on campus, Matt's name was still alive via papers posted in and around the Physics department.

Outside his advisor's office.

The reason for our little trip.

Dinner with some of our favorite Waco residents at one of our favorite Waco restaurants!

Your morning will never be the same after you've been introduced to Lolitas breakfast burritos.  This fantastic local dive was blocks from our old home.

Hanging with Doug over a cup of tea in his fantastic office.

Bush's sweet tea outside the science building.  I had a great time reading in the sunshine while Matt was inside visiting.
Revisiting part of our Friday night laundry tradition.  Grab a sandwich, then walk down the sidewalk to...
Ma Suds.  The window decor was new.  Everything else inside was the same, including the lady folding laundry.
I didn't take any pictures while at Spenco, but had a great visit with old co-workers who kindly sent me home with samples of their newest comfy sandals.


Matt had excellent turn out at his talk on campus & did a great job presenting.  I snapped a picture after the room cleared.

Chips, salsa, queso & a margarita at The Elite Grill afterward with Doug and Natalie.

The Elite was the first restaurant I ate in after moving to TX in 2005.  It was my birthday and Mom and Matt were with.  Good memories :)
Neat architecture and signs.
After shooting hoops in the driveway, a little ping pong game with Doug in his backyard.  Natalie and I chatted on the patio before the mosquitoes drove us inside.
Back to Dallas to see Brock and Stefanie.  And to eat more Tex-Mex!
Brockefanie!
Good friends, good food, good visit.


Breakfast at the Cloud Cafe.

And to fulfill our last regionally specific food request, we stopped at Freebird's on the way to the airport before flying home.
A neat photo opp back on the East coast with the USSS director.














And before any more time goes by, that was March in a nutshell.
