Kitty Deschanel | Food, Wine, and Travel Adventures in an Airstream Basecamp

*There's a list of can't-miss places and DC things to do at the end of this post, including our favorite restaurants. Sexy Nerd and I are home from our annual trip to Washington, DC. (And have been for several weeks, obviously. What a strange time we're living.) It's such a gorgeous, walkable city. I'd love to move there one day, even if only for a year or two. We could get a place near the water in Alexandria or within steps of the zoo. Did you know you can buy a condo at the Watergate? My thinking is that we can splurge on a place above our budget and really live it up while we're there, then just sell it when we move and get our money back. Sexy Nerd says that's not how it works. Isn't it though? I bought a new phone with a top-rated camera just in time - it arrived 1 day before this trip. Behold, the first selfie on my Google Pixel 3a. My previous phone was already outdated when I bought it refurbished in 2014, so this is an exciting u...

I think we might be overdue for another installment of my comic strip , LambAround. The last one was published more than eight years ago! So much for turning it into a weekly series. This site isn't even called LambAround anymore. Perhaps this is the KittyAround comic?  Let's call this one hot tub cartoon .

In my defense, creating comics takes  forever  when you have no artistic talent. Hot Tub Cartoon It's time for another installment of no one's favorite comic, this time with a hot tub cartoon. Can my fellow hot tub owners relate? That made you smile. Admit it. Here's a version of my hot tub cartoon that's perfect for sharing online. (Hint, hint.)

Copenhagen photos post 2 of 2 ( Missed post 1? Click here! ) We visited Boston, Salem, Iceland, Denmark, Baltimore, and HEAVEN , all in one trip. I asked Sexy Nerd to take my photo in front of these reindeer. This is the only photo he took. Sexy Nerd enjoyed hearing the stories at the Hans Christian Andersen museum. They're a bit more strange than I remembered. And I remembered them being pretty strange! The World's Largest Collection of Beer Bottles (All unopened and no repeats.) Going through my vacation photos, I came to this one and thought Is that...a swastika?? We never noticed it while we were at the Carlsberg Brewery. According to the Carlsberg website, these elephants were built in 1901 and swastikas used to be a common symbol of the company, as they represented good luck, prosperity, and goodness in India. Sexy Nerd hates raisins, yet he happily ordered his Glogg with added raisins. ...
