Speaking of awesome light displays – from an email:
“The Wharf is starting the season off right with DC’s 25th Annual Parade of Lights.
The Wharf will host more than 60 boats covered in hundreds of thousands of lights. In addition to the boats in the parade, there will be around 40 docked boats decorated between Gang Plank Marina and the Capital Yacht Club on Saturday, December 3.
Parade of Lights is a free event, perfect to get into the Holiday spirit. This grand DC holiday tradition will feature festive light displays from the Potomac River as well as Wharf-side activities, including photos with Santa, the lighting of the Gangplank Marina Christmas Tree, a roaring bonfire, gingerbread cookie making, hot chocolate sipping, balloon art and sailboat crafting—plus the first guaranteed snowfall of the season.
There will also be a holiday brews in the Corona Beer Garden and food from King Ribs. This is a unique display of holiday lights that attracts thousands and brings a touch of magic to the City’s waterfront.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
