I’ve been running around like crazy this week trying to get everything packed for London, but I want to do a quick post about my trip to Maryland and DC last weekend.

My boyfriend and I headed to DC on Thursday for his 10 year high school reunion in Hollywood, Maryland. We stayed in DC on Thursday night and met up with some of his college buddies at a sports bar in Bethesda. I had a great time listening to stories about all the crazy things they did in college.

One of the highlights was going to the bay one evening to eat our fill of crabs at Captn John’s Crab House. Maryland blue crabs are smaller than our west coast dungeness crabs, but they have great flavor and taste amazing with Old Bay seasoning and vinegar.
