A couple blocks from King, nestled near the Parker-Gray neighborhood of Old Town, is this unassuming Ethiopian restaurant. Hawwi is so delicious and the staff is very helpful. #project365

I knew my sarcastic license plate holder was appropriate for drivers in this area, but I didn’t need somebody to rear-end me and prove it. #project365

Celebrated Mother’s Day with the daughter today since she works tomorrow. Brunch at Jula’s then did (part of) the Heritage Trail history walk through Old Town. This sign is in a neighborhood that used to be called Hayti (pronounced HAY-tie) in support of the Haiti Revolution with Toussaint L’Ouverture. #project365

I followed this Fairfax County Police cruiser. At the next light I was next to him and asked about the car. It’s a 1991 Ford LTD. I would’ve thought Fairfax County could afford newer vehicles. Har har. #project365

A walk down to the water with the wife and dogs after work. Then a nice little sit down on a bench to decompress and catch up with each other. Life is good. #project365
