Some fun D.C. Stuff

Went to the Zoo - SO much fun - lots of walking. I took so many pictures, but I particularly love this one because this new mama gorilla was so sweet and beautiful. You can see her baby in her lap - and she's wondering why in the @*#$ she's being stared at. She was very good natured, however, unlike I would be - especially whilst in dire need of a good bra. I guess it's reassuring that even in the animal kingdom, gravity takes it's toll.

I also took the kiddies out on an Antique Shopping Adventure! With all kinds of the enthusiasm and excitement, I told them how much *FUN* it is to look at old crap, not touch anything EVER, not speak loudly, and not buy anything because it's so expensive! {whee!!!}




I'm in love with this lamp - it came in a pair and if only I had an extra $800, I could have walked home with them...












This chair, too - for whatever reason, I wanted to fall into this chair, curl up, and take a long nap. The fabric was delicious and it was SO inviting. I should have bought it, huh? DANG IT.



And then below - the GORGEOUS fruit brooches! Can you believe how adorable?! Read the price tag, though. $165 each. EEK. Guess I just have to admire them behind glass...

This is my kind of fun...
