I thought this post was going to be a “venue spotlight” post where I could talk about having your wedding at the U.S. Botanic Garden. Nope, the not-very-helpful-but-pleasant-enough info desk guy said. It’s federal land and so you can’t rent it out… I was unclear on the details, but there was a very useful sign saying “no weddings ever.” So you won’t be getting married at the U.S. Botanic Garden.
One of my favorite businesses is Best Buns, a lovely little bakery a block and a half from my house. I love being able to stop off on the way home from work and pick up a beautiful baguette. They’ve got lots of other tasty goodies as well – including a hearty multigrain bread. I used it this weekend to make some very indulgent, but hopefully not too sinful, french toast.
The public library. It is so awesome it’s almost unbelievable. I won’t spend much time selling you on the reasons to visit a library. If you’re anything like me, you’re already well versed. If you’re not anything like me, you’re probably not reading my blog! I’ll just tell you my all-time favorite library feature: holds.
