Weekend Update with Ty and Al

So just because we haven't updated the blog for a while it is not because we don't have anything to write about. In fact, we have been busier than ever. Allison is into her second month of work and is enjoying every second of it (note the sarcasm in my voice). She's doing good work but hates the long hours and getting up early. I say, welcome to my world.

Regardless, we have still managed to jam a lot into our weekends. Here we are at the Kreeger Museum, home of the former GEICO chairman. The home houses their private art collection and is now a full time museum. It was part of Museum Week in DC so went and checked it out. We even talked Al's brother Kevin in to coming along; the culture was good for him.

CROM-E-O-Oh-O.  Just last weekend we went to the 930 Club to see Cromeo in concert. Talk about two turn tables and a microphone, these guys know how to put on an entertaining show. DJ Treasure Fingers was the opening act and did a good job of warming up the crowd.  Once again Kevin joined us for more culture, DC style. What up yo!

Just this week we went to the opera at the Kennedy Center.  We were joined by our friend, Beau, in seeing Verdi's La Traviata.  It wasn't our favorite opera but we really enjoyed some of the middle Acts.   This is us front of the Kennedy Center.  We are lucky enough to have tickets to two more operas this season so look for our reviews.

And just this week we found a new place in DC that looked interesting.  It's called Coco Sala and it's billed as Chocolate Bar - how could you pass that up, right?  So we tried it out and would probably give it a B- overall.  They had small topas style dishes and then tons of chocolate platters.  Here is the Allison looking at the prices on the menu.
