Busboy and Poets and a stop to make Addie happy.

Our nephew had moved to Washington D. C. to finish his teaching credential and a masters program in ESL.  He was married in February and we were unable to make it, so we made a point to meet up with Allen and Carol one afternoon.

They suggested Busboys and Poets for lunch.  A great choice. Why the name? The name Busboys and Poets refers to American poet Langston Hughes, who worked as a busboy at the Wardman Park Hotel in the 1920's prior to gaining recognition as a poet.


Besides lunch they hold poetry readings and their restaurant is full of art.


A diverse crowd made for a most enjoyable lunch.  Unfortunately, I was so caught up in conversation with Allen and Carol, I failed to get their picture.


On the way home, I spoke to Heather and she said if we were close that Addie's favorite TV show was D.C. Cupcakes.  It would thrill her if we picked her up a T-shirt.  So of course we went.


We were told we would have to wait in line, maybe hours.


We only waited a few minutes. Just enough time to make our selection.


Could just buy a T-shirt.  Had to have a sample to see what all the fuss was about.
Two cupcakes and 


a T-shirt to go.


What we do for our grandchildren.  Love you Addie.
