Sister Visit

My younger sister came to visit last weekend. On Saturday I picked her up from the airport, and we went to Annapolis, the capital of Maryland. There we walked around the historic part of Annapolis. It rained on us, and we had to go into a drug store to buy a poncho for the baby so she wouldn’t get wet. We grabbed a bite to eat at a local restaurant. Maryland is famous for its crab so we ordered a crab dip for my sister to try. It was delicious. When we were done with dinner we went home because my sister was really tired from her trip. On Sunday we headed out to Washington D.C. to watch a Chinese musical. The show is called Shen Yun, and it comes to town every year. The show tells the story of Chinese history going back thousands of years. The choreography was fantastic, and the costumes were beautiful.  I wished they would have allowed us to take pictures with the cast, but that’s ok. My sister and I still really enjoyed the musical. After the show we stopped by the Cherry Blossom festival. The cherry blossoms bloomed a little early this year due to the warm weather we’ve been having, but we still managed to catch some trees with their flowers on them. We also walked by a flower garden which had very colorful flowers. We took a couple of pictures then we grabbed some hot dogs and headed back home. On Monday we went up to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. We spent most of our day there just walking around browsing the stores. I bought an outfit for the baby and my sister bought a couple of souvenirs to take back to Texas. I invited her to dinner at a sushi restaurant on the harbor. We ate some tako, tempura, soba, and two different types of sushi rolls. The food was good, but I don’t really think my sister liked that they put ikura (roe) atop the sushi rolls. My sister went home on Tuesday but not before we grabbed some lunch at an Afghani kabob place. She didn’t want to eat Afghani food at first. However, once she tried the steak kabobs she really liked it. I was sad to say goodbye but am glad she came to visit.
