Waterfalls and Magic Loop

One advantage of living in Philadelphia is that it is a mini-roadtrip away from so many good friends and cool cities. Of course, the traffic congestion does dictate when you can travel (cough Jersey Shore cough summer cough).



This weekend I helped Heather celebrate her birthday in Washington D.C. I forgot how much I love Mexican food, mango margaritas and dancing to booty music with a group of friends. (Well, as opposed to dancing in my kitchen to booty music).

We visited the Great Falls National Park which is right by Heather's house. There was also a bit of antique shopping and brunching.



We saw a baby copperhead snake (cute!) and this larger snake.



We got to climb on some rocks and have a great view of the water falls. The weather was gorgeous. We were actually getting hot while hiking. I felt bad telling my friend Coco that, who is still under a foot of snow in Montreal.



I realized one of the benefits of trying out the magic-loop method for knitting socks. You can sit on the top of a cliff, dangle your feet off, and knit a few rows without fear of dropping a double pointed needle.



Just make sure not to drop that ball of yarn. It's a long way down.
