My family and I have been greatly enjoying our summer together. Our time has ebbed and flowed, some days flying by, some days long and lazy leaving us in our jammies until two o'clock. Meals have consisted of plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables from a local fruit stand in town and we have taken some day trips, touring our own lovely city of DC and discovering great coffee places like M.E. Swings over by the Old Executive Building. Our summer break is halfway through and we are sliding too quickly towards school and work again so I must remember to make each day count.
My latest discovery...
Very thin pork chops which are perfect on the grill, I will never go back to thick cut pork chops again.

You might want to try this: Bus Boys and Poets - the coolest coffee shop / cafe in the entire city and a great place for brunch if you're willing to wait in line - also a good spot to get a glass of wine (U-street) - You can eat a full meal here but its more of a place to get something like and chat over coffee. I have no affiliation other than a son who lives in the District and knows all the hots spots to go.
