Hanging out with Chris, Brittney, Ian and little Joshua.

My friend Ian was home from school for spring break and we decided to stop by our friends Chris and Brittney's place and I brought along my camera to take pictures of their 6 week old baby Joshua. I went the night Josh was born to visit Chris and Brit at Loudoun County Hospital, but never got a chance to see him. He looks so much like Chris, except when he cries (which happened frequently...I guess he didn't like my flash, which I found out after two pictures) his forehead wrinkled up and looked like a little old bald guy that lost his teeth. After hanging out for a while watching some TV we all went to get some Milwaukee Frozen Custard, unfortunately mine decided to melt like an icecube in the desert and it was a struggle just trying to keep the ice cream in the cone and off the table.

Had to bust out the micro lens to get some pictures of Josh's feet.
It took nearly an hour of Ian and I being there before Josh opened his eyes.
Chris and Ian seemed very interested in the results of tonight's primaries...or so the claimed.


The second mom picked him up, he fell asleep.
This is their dog, wearing what I like to call the Hannibal Lector muzzle...hello Clarice
Chris still engrossed in the primaries...no one else was paying attention...
Ian demolished his frozen desert before I even got a chance to sit down, they were training a new employee tonight and it took twice as long as you could possibly imagine it to take to scoop frozen custard out of a tub and put it in a cone.
Josh was asleep, so he didn't get any...and Chris wound up finding a out of the box way of mounting the car seat at our table. The flipped upside down booster seat was a perfect fit for it.
If that's not unique, I must just need to get started having kids to learn this stuff.

White Castle or McD's? Choose your heartattack!

Upon arriving at work today, I was suprised to see a monument errected in our break room. Apparently an employee decided to devour his own weight in White Castle burgers over the weekend and brought a small number of the leftover boxes to work and decided to play around with his creative side. I asked him where he got all of the boxes, he then told me how he drove 4 hours to the closest location... must have been a Harold/Kumar type of urge, but I didn't ask.
Having never seen/been to White Castle (I have no idea where the closest one even is) I do not know if White Castle also has arches prominately displayed in their locations, but I know that these arches look more like a tribute to McD's! These were the only boxes to be displayed there were EASILY 15 more in trash cans all around the building.

I unfortunately left my Nikon at home, so I had to take these with my iPhone and brighten/sharpen them a little in PS. Hungry?

What's, plastic, 8 feet tall and communicates with whistles and beeps?





A gigantic R2-D2 made out of Legos!
Driving home from Alexandria I saw a sign outside of Tysons Corner Mall claiming they were building an eight-foot tall R2-D2 out of Legos. Since I had my D200 and 17-55 f/2.8 riding shotgun, I decided to hop out real quick and take a couple shots.
These guys have also made other things out of Legos, I flipped through a book they had lying on the table...these guys are truly masters of turning a tub full of plastic bricks into complex works of art.


Kids (and their parents) were ALL OVER the place making little things out of the ridiculous number of Legos that covered all the tables around the main attraction.
They plan on being finished with the whole construction tomorrow, unfortunately I have to work, so I'll miss seeing the final result, but I think I know what R2-D2 looks like...
