...a monumental trip...

Last Wednesday my friend Emily Belek and I headed to VA to see our beloved Elaine! Here's a photo play by play of what was the most fabulous trip I've been on in a loooonng time!!!


touring the Jamestown settlement with our personal tour guide, Brian Flores himself!...this is a replica of a Powhatan hut


lovely friends after a lovely dinner on a lovely day

day two: in colonial Williamsburg, trying out the fashionable bonnets from the time period!



the 4 of us went to DC for the day on Saturday. I had never been so I was uber pumped to see the sights. Brian & Elaine are veteran tourists, and made great tour guides! Funny story - turned out there was a MASSIVE anti war protest that day...it was crazy chaos with thousands of protesters. We had front row seats, saw them with their protester signs, yelling at the pro-war people, then saw several of them get arrested. Definitely made for a memorable first trip!!!


it was a "brochure" day! temp was about 75 degrees, a light breeze occasionally! made for great conditions to be outside, which was nice, but that didn't keep our feet from hurting. Emily and I weren't sure we were going to make it, and I'm not being dramatic, we were in serious pain, but even with that in mind, it was an amazing day to be in DC with some of my fave peeps!

It really was a great trip. From seeing all the sights to just hanging out like old times. It seemed like we ate all the time, cooked together, watched 'Friends', played phase 10, watched old SING dvds, stayed up just talking, catching up...really, couldn't have asked for more.

Good times good times!

Super Duper: Going to da 'stros game on Tuesday.

Super Pooper: Reality strikes, back to the real world!
