Duke Ellington Jazz Festival 2009
Saturday morning brought zumba with Kim & Joe, German pancakes, and a nap. At about 1 PM we headed over to hang out with our friend Danielle who just moved into her own place and was offering burgers. I brought along a toasted Trader Joe's gf English muffin for my bun. It was all very exciting because I hadn't had a burger since October! I was pleased with the results. I'm thinking about going to 5 Guys and ordering a burger sans bun and using my own! Finding a semi-decent gluten-free bun is life changing I tell ya!
After chatting with Danielle and her roommie we went over to the jazz festival on the lawn on by the Washington Monument. It was a beautiful sunny day and we were lucky to find a sweet spot in the shade. The music was great. Come to find out I really like jazz from New Orleans, very fun! I was a little skeptical about the festival -- maybe it would be lame, but I was impressed with the quality of the music and recommend going next year. A great way to spend a summery afternoon. Maybe bring a blanket and have a picnic.
Albert remembered to bring the camera, but I forgot to put the memory card back in it so we ended up snapping some pics with our phones...oops! Luckily our camera phones work well in the sunshine.
