Day at the Museum

Posted in Fun Outings - DC, Rainy Day Activities with Kids - DC, Smithsonian Museum - Kids Activities, Spring Activities - DC, tagged , on March 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

It is really for shame that we here at BB have posted very little on the wealth of programs and activities for kids offered by the Smithsonian museums. So, before it gets too warm to want to be inside, and before all those crazy tourists start piling into town and clogging the metro and museums, [...]

Greetings…from my new reality….where the sun always shines, the birds are chirping…there is no snow in the forecast…ever….and the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom.
I am living there now. And no, this is not an episode of “Lost.”
Or maybe I am just believing that these things are possible…..I am still hunting down that damn groundhog [...]

Happy New Year Babes! Hope you enjoyed the holidays with your family. January is one of my least favorite months of the year and finding indoor activities to entertain energy-filled young ones is never fun. So let the babes help you round out your winter calendar.
First up, for the francophiles out there, like moi, head over to [...]

If you are dreaming of a Hawaiian Christmas right about now, you are not alone. In fact, if you are fully appreciating all our previous snow-free winters, know you are also not alone. You are officially a kindred spirit with the Beltway Babes.
So with that in mind, if you are searching for something to do with [...]

Baby It’s Cold Outside

Well…maybe it’s not that cold outside right now unless you are visiting the spectacular ice sculpture exhibit in the new Gaylord Hotel at the National Harbor. Full disclosure – I haven’t yet gone partly because I thought it seemed super pricey – but a Beltway Babes BFF went last weekend and emailed in rave reviews.  [...]

Family Saturdays (For a great cause)

Posted in Children's Theater - DC, Fun Outings - DC, tagged , on November 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Let’s face it, while we’re all guilty of having our opinions on whether DC, Maryland, or Virginia is best (notice I put them in alpha order…), we’re very lucky to be able to share the wealth of our neighbors. We’ve all hit up parks, libraries, classes, etc in an area different than our driver’s license. [...]

Seeing as how every one of us probably remembers watching Sesame Street as a kid, it’s not hard to believe that today is the show’s 40th birthday. And who could have missed the fabulous Google logos for the past week in honor of the anniversary? They just made me happy.
So set your DVRs today because [...]

Esprit de Noel

Posted in Fun Outings - DC, Holiday Events - DC, tagged , , on November 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »

One of my favorite holiday fairs is taking place this weekend – Esprit de Noel – at Georgetown Visitation.  You know it’s good if last year, in the final weeks of my pregnancy with daughter #2, I trekked down there, braved the crowds and parking, and shopped. While I found it to be impossibly hot [...]
