Dear Kristilyn, please come back and entertain my kids.

Last weekend we got a visit from my dear friend Kristilyn who was in Philadelphia for work and braved the Chinatown bus to come down and see us for a few days. It was a pretty low-key visit (no kayaking in the rain like last time) but it was nice to just hang out and chat and bake and eat. And my kids LOVED having her around. She probably spent the majority of her time entertaining them...

We did make a trip to 2 Amys for some of the best pizza in the District. I have never seen so many families with small children at a restaurant in D.C. We were there on a Saturday so we were able to try out their famous "weekend only" donuts. They were good but not worth a special trip. The pizza, however, was oh so good. Definitely recommend it. I went with the classic margherita and was very pleased. I would love to try their sfogliatelle some time, but it's only available on Friday evenings.









Their cannoli was also delicious:




We were near the National Cathedral so we stopped by for a quick visit:
