Delish Weekend in DC

For Martin Luther King Jr. weekend I decide to bus it down to D.C. to visit my mom (Michelle Obama), visit the MLK Memorial and eat everything in sight. I accomplished 2 out of 3 of those things.

I like to make pancakes, because they are easy, eggs for the same reason and turkey bacon, also for the same reason. These are usually the parts of all my brunches.
