I know, I stink (to say the least) because I haven't written all month. I could give you a line of excuses - and trust me they are valid ones! - or I could just write about the most beautiful part of my August.
A day with family stands out in my mind. My parents and Grammy came to pick me up in Washington, D.C. on August 7th. I missed them all summer so it was such a relief to see them and be heading home with them.
We all went to Open City, a great diner suggested to me by the one and only Caitlin Dewey (fellow Kiplinger's intern), and met Rita Golden Gelman for "brunch." Delish. Took a quick trip to Trader Joe's with Rita, then trekked down to Mount Vernon.
Before I went to D.C. my Grammy would tell me stories of Mount Vernon - it really is beautiful. Grammy believes it is the most beautiful place in the whole world, and it made me happy to share it with her.
It feels as though it is frozen in time, maintaining its natural beauty and reminding us of our strong founding father and first president.
