Aaron and I started asking around for events that might take place around DC during Halloween a few weeks prior, and learned that we would not be disappointed. We first attended a Drag Queen Race on Tuesday evening, which has been an ongoing tradition at Dupont circle for the past like 20 years. Yes.....DRAG QUEEN RACE!! All these men or whatever they are...dress up in drag and run as fast as they can in HEELS to win the race. It was a HUGE event!! It was so crowded and rainy that we didn't quite get to see them actually racing...but it was worth making an appearance. WARNING: Some pictures are disturbing, hahaha, but now that they are posted I can delete them so our children don't look back and wonder what kind of events we were attending!!! After the crazy race...we enjoyed ourselves some Delicious doughnuts!
Later that week we went over to our good friends Kelly and Jeff Henriod's place and carved pumpkins. They gave us a tutorial on shaving the pumpkin instead of actually carving it. With such a little pumpkin we decided to do our monogram....and we think it turned out pretty cute!
Then for the actual Halloween night we went out to Georgetown, with our friends Courntey and Reese. So rumor had it that Georgetown is the place to be on Halloween night...that was confirmed when we could hardly walk up and down the streets because of the crowd. But we ended up getting into a club which was down on the riverside and just danced the night away!! We had a BLAST!!! Aaron and I didn't want to spend money on costumes this year so we pulled from our closets and decided to be Jackie and John F. Kennedy. It worked....
This was the traffic outside our window at around midnight on Halloween night!!
We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

That is HILARIOUS! Those queens could have gotten hurt running in the rain in heels!
Oh my gosh, a Halloween to never forget, drag queen's and all! I LOVE the pumpkin. I need lessons on that. Ansley the artist actually carved a fantastic spider and web this year! The Jackie and John were perfect. You guys really looked like the picture and especially great for this year in D.C. You will need to get it in a frame for your yearly costume picture to display:) Sorry Aaron, a family tradition and a must!
I guess it's never a dull moment in the big city!! To funny! Such a clever ides for a costume for you guys!
I love this post. I am laughing out loud at the pictures and at Mrs. Tracy's apology. I fully support the annual costume picture tradition.
