This weekend was the SilverDocs Film Festival in Silver Spring, MD. I normally wouldn't care about it cause documentaries aren't really my cup of tea (
generally not enough explosions), but my friend Chris H came in from Texas to work the festival. His wife Christina and daughter Elizabeth came along to make it a working holiday and i got to spend some time with them on Sunday. We met at the Tastee Diner for breakfast. An original silver-sided diner this place is great; i highly recommend it.
Then we walked to Downtown Silver Spring. Yes, it is capitalized like that. A revitalization project several years ago created a plaza out of a courtyard,
complete with a lovely mosaiced open fountain. Since it was Father's Day they had all sorts of events going on, like music, a moonbounce and a cakewalk. But for Elizabeth, it was all about the fountain.
Isn't she just a cutie patootie?
Is it wrong for me to covet a 2 year old's hair-bobs?
It was a beautiful day to sit in the sunshine, listen to a bit of jazz and catch up with old friends.
Happy, but exhausted - you try to do DC with a toddler.
The longer we stayed more and more kids played in the fountain, creating instant friends.
I thought it would be nice to get some pictures of Elizabeth through the fountain
but the wind had other ideas.
A picture of Christina taking a picture - do i need a 12-step program?
At one point Christina said "Don't you sometimes wish you were still 2?" and I answered as truthfully as i could, "Age wouldn't stop me; the only reason i'm not in the fountain with her is that i don't want to get my car seats wet."
Next time, fountain; next time.
Unfortuantely, they had to go back to Texas the next day. I will have to try to get to Austin to see them again soon. To see more pictures and follow the adventures of the lovely Miss Elizabeth check out
