Ben Folds in DC!

For my birthday, Ben and I went to George Washington University in DC for my favorite concert! Ben Folds!!! Jason Mraz played too, but we didn't stay for his whole set. I seriously can't get enough of seeing Ben Folds play! This was my fourth time seeing him (Ben's third), and I'd love to see him again. Here are some pictures (disclaimer: they're cell phone pictures, so they're not so great).




I love when he jumps on the piano!

Ben and the Horseshoe Crab

So this is kinda old, but I had to get it up here. A couple weeks ago, Ben and I found a tiny Bay beach here in Dover. We took a short walk on the beach and found the scariest thing I've ever seen! Horseshoe Crabs! I'd heard of them, but had no idea what to expect. Luckily, they were all dead. I would run screaming if I saw a live one. Yikes! Ben thought they were cool - he wanted to bring one home.



Isn't that just about the creepiest thing you've ever seen? But Ben is pretty cute!

Quantico

So last weekend, we took a quick trip back to NC. On our way back to Dover, we took an impromptu stop at The National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico - about a half hour south of DC.

Ben and Iron Mike






There were so many wax displays. And some of them were pretty creepy. They look pretty real! This was much more interesting than I expected. I wouldn't mind going back to spend a little more time. Ben loved it! Papa Quigley is a retired Marine, so Ben grew up around all this stuff. He was in heaven.

I loved the fake drill sergent. Mwahhh!



I didn't realize I took so many pictures and I couldn't leave any out!

Thanks Katie for helping me with the collage! You're the best!
