Some of our favorite things from the past month...

We've had a busy start of summer and have been enjoying many of the great things that the area has to offer. We have definitely developed some favorites though and spend lots of our down time visiting these places over and over and over and over...

Fairfax Corner is the place we go probably more than any other--with a great movie theater, a few of our favorite restaurants, lots of fun shops, and a patio area featuring live music on summer nights, we always have a nice time stopping by - whether it's for lunch, dinner, a movie, or all 3. North's favorite part of the complex is the fountain that kids frolic in during these hot days. We recently went late one evening and got some cute photos with our phones of him playing in the water.




We also spend LOTS of time at our local frozen yogurt shops - pinkberry and red mango - yum. We Milner's can't seem to get enough!

And finally, though we don't have a proper yard of our own as renters, we have been enjoying growing a small garden in planters on our patio. While every single berry we have grown and nearly every tomato ends up in our friendly neighborhood squirrel bellies before we can begin to think of harvesting them, we've had great success with our pepper plants (seems they are too spicy for our squirrel friends). North loves checking on our plants daily and helping to pick peppers that have ripened.
