A Year in Photos
Posted by Will on January 23, 2010
We have admittedly been poor in keeping up with updates this past month. That’s okay because a picture, supposedly, is worth 1,000 words. So, I present you with 12 photos from each month of 2009 (that’s 12,000 words, at least, if you’re keeping score). I have spared everyone the horror of any photos from this. So, sit back, enjoy, and we’ll be back full-time in February.
January, The National Mall — Frigid temps, hot chocolate, ridiculous amount of humanity, long waits, epic treks on foot ... Totally worth it.
February, College Park — Brittany starts her second year of classes at UMD and proceeds to keep the "Doctor Legacy" alive for the next generation of Bramletts.
March, Downtown Washington — Unbeknownst to us, we begin our last (currently) days of living in the city. I don't know if we'll ever live somewhere with a view like this again.
April, Tidal Basin — We brave the sweaty tourists, swallow our pride, and decide to wade in to look at the cherry blossoms.
May, Logan Circle — We're still on our quest to find our new favorite eatery. Café Saint Ex is not it.
June, U Street — We brought Dad to our favorite Saturday morning haunt, Busboys & Poets. He flipped out, much to Brittany's dismay.
July, Amelia Island — We spent some time down on the beach with the complete Bram Fam. It was a great time aside from the fact I was in a boot on the beach (totally beach bummed). Again, I'll spare you a photo of the toe (you're welcome, America).
August, Greenbelt — Thanks to the quick reflexes of Jean Baldwin, the Bram Fam added a new addition, Margot Moses (you're welcome, Bob).
September, The Lincoln Memorial — My parents came up and we decided to hit the last few D.C. tourist spots they had not been to (at least, since eighth grade).
October, Staunton — Brittany planned a great little trek for us to the heart of Virginia wine country. We took a long weekend to not take ourselves too seriously ...
November, Annapolis — Brittany's parents came up and we ventured over to our state capital to mill around some pretty interesting (and free) homes, museums, and of course, the Naval Academy.
December, Greenbelt — Our first real snow since the Blizzard of 1993 (The Storm of the Century?). It was also my first experience shoveling snow (Blergh).

Hi Will and Brittany,
Was able to connect to this thru FB. Love the photos! It just occurred to me that Lauren and I were in DC this time last year and it snowed like crazy! And for these Ga. girls..despite trudging to see the momuments in the snow we loved it.
Hope all is going good with you. Know you are excited about the trip in May to see David. Hope one day, I can go with your Dad—that is on my bucket list believe it or not!
Just got to ask about the “Dad flipped out” picture when you all when to your favorite Sat. place…what did the Dan flip out about–or was that just a great caption for a funny picture? Inquiring minds want to know.
Take care!
Aunt Dianne

Hey Aunt Dianne,
It was indeed just a great caption for a oddball photo.

Was that a roach on that picture of the DC skyline?

@Ben — Yeah, I do. I don’t know why I don’t take it out with me more often.
@Kristin — It was some sort of beetle on the exterior of the window. We only ever saw one roach when we lived downtown, I guess they’re adverse to heights.
Here is a clearer shot.

Will and Brittany,
Just getting back into looking at my blog, and now yours. This is redundant, but nevertheless, great pics!
