Anastasia met Alexei and I on her way home from work.  All together we tried to find an ATM that would take her [physically] large paycheck.  We finally succeeded in Old Town Takoma Park.  While there, we stopped by the ice cream parlor.  Alexei had a scoop of strawberry mango, Anastasia had two scoops of chocolatey something or another in a waffle cone, and I had a lemon flavored shake.

Naturally, this impromptu excursion shot any chances of me working, but I'd say it was worth it.  Walking around a shop or two, grabbing some 'healthy' eats, and watching the Metro zoom by was the best possible thing for my growing fam this evening.
