Eastern Market

The Eastern Market is one of the longest running markets in the area. It first opened in 1873, and has (basically... in some form) been running every since. It's now a massive farmer's market and has it's own metro stop.

The Eastern Market was one of the first things that my friends and I put on our To See in DC list last August. A few weeks ago we finally made it down there. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that the market booths were only out on weekends and we went on a Friday. So there were no booths set up, but we did see the market building, and we walked around the neighborhood a little. It wasn't what we were expecting, but it was still fun!

Me and Paige, Eve and Alex:


After walking around we went back to Christen's house and had a fabulous lunch (because Christen is an amazing cook) while the babies played.

Henry and Alex playing with a large bucket of blocks:


Paige looking absolutely delighted to see Henry:

Paige and Alex, perhaps in some kind of showdown:


It was a long exciting day, and it wore little Paige out. She curled up and fell asleep in Henry's crib:

And what were our husbands doing during all of this? Working. Poor guys. Thanks for working so hard, boys!
