On Memorial Day, we decided to take a trip to the DC Fisherman's Wharf. Parking at the Shady Grove Metro Station, we rode the subway to L’Enfant Plaza metro station and walked to the DC Wharf. We ate at the bistro du jour. After the rain in the afternoon, we boarded the water cruise and went on a tour to old town Alexandria. Walked around an art exhibit hall and rode the trolley to the King Street metro station. We arrive back at the Met Shady Grove Metro Station just in time for dinner at the B2J Restaurant.
Living thousands of miles from my grandson, it is a grand honor to participate in some of his activities. So when the opportunity arose to attend one of his soccer games, we were delighted to accept the invitation. Although his team did not win, the game was not about winning but was about rewarding every member with the same rewards: a large conspicuous badge and a sumptuous frozen treat and a photo op of the team and coach. Although he did not score and at times seemed not to know what was going on, we enjoyed watching him grace the soccer field with his running around the whole field. He seemed to be saying to us to watch him, which we did with pleasure. I am proud of my grandson for trying. One day, I believe, he will be a great soccer player. But for now, he is still my favorite soccer player in America. And that's what counts. Go, Blake!
