Loving Labor Day

            Even though I have only just tiptoed into the real adult world, I am oh so grateful for the built in breaks that this whole career thing provides.  In order to mark this little holiday during which we all celebrate labor by not laboring, I first spent some time enjoying my new city (in the way of a Friday night out on U Street and a Saturday morning recovering with a necessary caffeine fix from my neighborhood coffee shop) and then headed to my favorite place to take in some boat rides, a killer sunset, and time with the family during which my dad did yoga and Grandpa Ball joined Twitter.  Oh yeah, there was a little bit of wine drinking too.  By the way, it took all of the self-control I have to resist posting the picture of John Ball in tree pose on here but I need him to help me do my taxes this year so I used some self-control.





Oh yeah and Cooper had fun too...


            This week I am looking forward to a four day work week and some catch up time with the BFF who skipped town and headed to Boston for a month immediately upon my arrival in D.C.  How dare she.  And though the forecasted 70's and rain might put a damper on the next few days, I'm excited to head north for my own New England mini-vacay this weekend.  Hope you enjoyed your long weekend!
