Weekend hanging out in DC. Iron Age for some badly needed Korean BBQ, then after stuffing ourselves with AYCE kbbq it was up far too early for the farmers' market the next morning. Their take on jianbing was interesting, generous portions and definitely tasty enough. National Postal Museum after was fun, then dinner at the Imperial, where we might have gone a little crazy with seafood.

Sunday was a solid pizza at 2Amys before more museums, then off to the airport. Wow Bao is definitely overrated, but so long as you expect small portions and airport pricing? Also the United crew on my return flight home got a little ahead of themselves with celebrating-- but the thought was definitely appreciated!
