It was a real bummer having to go back to work on Sunday after Rachel's party. Fortunately, PopPop was here until Tuesday -- which allowed us the chance to chaperone a field trip to a nearby park that Rachel's Summer Laureates classmates accompanied her on. The park, Lacey Park, is near her friend Libby's house, and Richard had the extraordinary grace to tromp through the woods very cheerfully without complaining about the heat (and it was HOT). After we got back, I changed into my work clothes and we hiked to the Metro station. The weather was a sticky mess, I hadn't had time to eat breakfast, I still had to fact-check a magazine story and I was in a bad mood by the time we got to D.C. Richard, of course, had NO PROBLEM with the walk; he said he needed the exercise. We miscommunicated with Drew about where we all were supposed to meet, and by the time we got to the restaurant where we all were supposed to meet for lunch, I was POOPED. Luckily, it was a great lunch spot and we had a lovely meal.
When I got home late that night, I heard that PopPop, Drew and Rachel had gone to Red Robin for dinner. Apparently they all had a great time.
