I Am Not A Tourist!

My neice hates looking like a tourist. So I snapped some pictures of her taking pictures. Talk about looking like a tourist!

Around the Washington Monument

After lunch (and coffee) we walked by the Washington Monument

Happy again!

After finally getting her caffine fix, my neice was happy again!

Kids want coffee

Food Court in Union Station

After meeting my family in DC, Derek and I took them the beautiful Union Station for lunch. While taking some pictures of my family a couple of girls asked me to take their picture. So I snapped a shot of them.

White House and family

After dinner I took them on an unfortunate drive around the monuments. I couldn't figure out the roads and kept doing the same circle but we did get a nice veiw of the White House at night.

El Chalan

We ate a lot of Peruvian Food while my family was here. There was Peruvian style rotisserie chicken in Baltimore called Chicken Rico, a Peruvian-Chinese restaurant in Virginia called Kam Po and a typical Peruvian restaurant in DC called El Chalan.

This pic was after a nice meal in Ell Chalan. Anticuchos! Yum!

Best calamari in town

John Steven LTD has, in my humble opinion, some of the best calamari around. In historic Fells Point and just off the water, it's a great location and good food!

Around the Inner Harbor

My mom had to wait for a package for my sister today so Derek and I took our neice and nephew to the Inner Harbor to take in some sites and to enjoy a ride on a Water Taxi to historic Fell's Point.

Lexington Market

Here are the pics at Lexington Market, including my neice on her cell phone. She's only 11 and already acting like a teenager. She declared I was delusion this weekend.

I Am Not A Tourist!

Yes you are! My neice hates to have her picture taken in tourist areas. She hates to look like a tourist. So I took several pictures of her looking silly or taking pictures.

Another Family Visit

My sister came to DC for a conference. She decided to make a family trip out of it and brought my neice and nephew with her. She also brought my mom along to babysit. They stayed at our place and my sister did the DC commute on the MARC train.

On the first day I took my mom and neice and nephew to Fort McHenry and to Lexington Market for lunch. My landlocked family loves seafood and we had crabcakes, calamari and oysters. Yum!
