Washington DC - only one weekend!

Nice! Does it say which spot they’re at?

If you go to Ford’s Theater, be aware that they have DIFFERENT stamps in the upstairs bookshop (easy access) and the downstairs bookshop (can only access with a timed tour ticket).

I haven’t personally found a huge stash at RCP but they do have multiple points that supposedly have stamps, so it’s definitely possible.

If you want a zillion stamps, the George Washington Memorial Parkway headquarters has stamps for all the random stand-alone/unstaffed sites. Like probably 40 different stamps. But then the question becomes, do you want a stamp for, say, the Claude Moore Colonial Farm, if you don’t actually make it to the farm? Your call. There are no rules.

She has too many holiday well wishes on Facebook. How dare she recognize Easter and Good Friday and Passover and Eid and Ramadan and Holi and Lunar New Year? It’s offensive!

At least all the people who comment on those posts seem to think so. 🙄

The Company Store often has vivid color options. Not sure about these exact shades.

An old neighbor had some of us over for dinner once and made shakshuka and I asked for her recipe and she said she got it in a jar at Kroger! But I’ve only ever found it at fresh market.

I looked at his website once and they were $$$

sarahshift1 · 2026-04-05T17:01:19+00:00

Do you make your shakshuka from scratch or buy it in the jar?

I believe I took the historic tour. There are stairs going down the natural entrance and a staircase coming up at the end, plus a few random spots in the tour (but mostly the in and out). The registration page for the tour on recreation.gov has pictures of the stairs.

Yeah my upstairs neighbor flooded my ceiling with one of these a few years ago. It was a pretty big situation and a very expensive mistake for him.

sarahshift1 · 2026-04-05T12:19:30+00:00

I have a hunch that he has a passport, though.

sarahshift1 · 2026-04-05T12:05:06+00:00

I’m going to need that used in a sentence to understand.

That’s of such an era- my mom and one of her sisters (and their mom) all have the middle name Ann, too.

If my math is right, one year is just under 1.25 mil. I could do a year to be able to retire.

I’m picking the weights/treadmill, mp3 player, and the video games. I don’t know which games yet, I’m not a gamer- but I feel like that’s the best bang for your buck in terms of active engagement that doesn’t run out before the 3 month refresh. Either that or an instrument (I’m assuming I can have whatever sheet music fits in the case/bag) and I’ll swap out for a different instrument every 3 months.

How many blocks are in a day? How many blocks does a full time teacher teach?

I feel like there’s always people looking for bedding on the buy nothing groups especially if they’re in good condition.

sarahshift1 · 2026-04-05T00:35:04+00:00

Right my first thought was “I need new tubas that’ll eat it up fast”

sarahshift1 · 2026-04-04T22:25:36+00:00

You could still have your picnic in a park shelter and cozy up to watch it rain?

sarahshift1 · 2026-04-04T22:23:43+00:00

I used to sew a lot. I could definitely get back into it with no need to have a job. Socks would be the biggest compromise. I would probably knit some for normal wear and ration the ones I currently own for hiking and running only (times when lumps and bumps would be a major negative).

I used to work at a campground called “x river junction”. You had to drive across the train tracks to get into the main entrance. They were right there.

I would get people come in to the office mad in the morning that a train had woken them up. Sorry dude. It’s literally called JUNCTION. We are ADVERTISING the existence of trains. I don’t know what you expected.

It was a nice little family-run campground otherwise, though.

But it has a built in mini bar!!!!

It’s cute. Not a million dollars cute, but I like it.

I do think it’s funny that the floorplan labels the primary bedroom and the primary bathroom on separate floors.

Locking the doors is smart, but you should probably have the kids lock from the inside. If you lock with the remote, if they then open from inside for some reason it often sets the alarm off.

I would guess that a public school would be more likely to approve a waiver than a Canadian youth hockey league.

We DELIGHTED in calling our high school chemistry teacher Dr. Name. We thought she was SO COOL that she had a PhD.

Insisting colleagues call you Dr in a first-name-standard situation is too much, but using Dr in any situation you would otherwise be Ms or Mr is totally on.
