DC Trip

Brandon planned a trip for my 31st (yes, 31!!) birthday to D.C. this year to see Dave Matthews. He was playing at the Nationals Ballpark, so we thought it would be a neat venue to see him in. This was probably my 20th time seeing him and I will have to say the best yet! The stage was set up in the outfield and we had tickets for the field. We were amazingly close and it was an excellent show! We had lots of fun, despite the record high temps and horrible humidity in DC that weekend. The Zac Brown Band opened up for Dave and he was really fun to see. I'm not much for Country Music, but I'll have to say he's pretty good! Here is the only picture from that night. A self taken pic in the hotel before we left.

On Saturday, we ventured into Baltimore to hit another ballpark since we were so close. We caught an Orioles game. Our friend Scott, who lives in DC went with us and we had lots of fun. He's a hoot, so it was nice to get to spend some time with him. We watch the show Man Vs. Food and Adam Richman the host has been to Baltimore before for some blue crab. Brandon was determined that we were going to go to Obrycki's Crab house that has been featured on the show to get the full Maryland crab experience. I'm not much on crab, but I was game to go along and see what it was all about. I got a salad and they ordered the 1/2 dozen blue crabs that they just threw on the table for them to eat. I almost lost my stomach when the waiter demonstrated how to de-organ them in order to eat them. Ya know, gotta get the liver and lungs out first! GROSS! Anyway, we ate and then headed out the game. It was a fun night, but very hot still.
