Backyardigans on the very small screen

Yesterday was a pretty relaxed day in the Hitzig household. Orlando played a bit more with the new Iphone, downloading his first Itunes purchase ... an episode of The Backyardigans. The hope ws that if it played well on the Iphone (and my Ipod Touch), we'd download as many episodes as we could before we leave for the cruise so Anastasia could stay entertained on the flight and quiet times on the cruise.

It worked, and she was mesmerized!



Later, we went to the new National Harbor in Prince Georges County. It has a very pretty view of the river, but at the moment, with most of it still under construction, it leaves a lot to be desired as a destination. Our goal was simply to have a drink by the water before coming back home for a nice dinner of barbeque'd chicken. Unfortunately, only one restaurant was really open, and the hotel bar was also closed. I guess there were some restaurants in the convention center, but from where we'd parked, that would have been a very long walk.

In the end, we decided to go to Union Station and have a drink at B. Smiths. It was a very good choice, with well made drinks by a very nice bartender. I'm glad we didn't try to stay at the chain restaurant that was packed to the gills.
