First 10-miler...well kinda (lol)

PHEW!!!! When I finally turned in this evening, my pedometer clocked me in at 9.04 miles. I spent a great mid-morning walking the National Mall, in great conversation (thanks Sean!). We cleared 6 of our intended 10 miles, before Sean started talking about food. It was all downhill from there. Walk cut short, and on to the hunt for food. I reconciled that I had already done my obligatory 2 miles that morning with the faithful Nico. Well off to the Eastern Market we headed for good food and most importantly MIMOSAS!!! Trying to find parking was entertaining in and of itself. A solid 15 minutes of driving in circles, but to no avail. Fate. Then onto "circling" by foot to find a suitable place to quiet our very hungry bellies. That was evenMORE challenging than finding parking, but Mr. Henry's had our table on the patio waiting for us. Ahhhhh chocolate chip waffles, TRUE FATE!!! I created my own "mimosa". Until I can find that someone else has created and named it, I have created a drink I will name "A Lady's Sunday Lemonade". Ohhhhh so delish. A briskly cold, sweet lemonade mixed with champagne (preferrably not dry). I have some experimenting to do to get the measurements just right. Do I have any taste-testers out there? lol I was yawning terribly at the end of a sumptuous Sunday brunch and long walk, but I still had to walk the puppy for at least a mile. When it was said and done, the pedometer read 9.04 miles (not including our morning walk). I was sooooo happy to turn into my cozy bed after a hot shower and turning the a/c up to frigid. What a great Sunday!! I won't even get into my yummy chicken parm dinner. It was a no-no, but sooooo needed. Chat with yall later!!
