Labor Day Weekend in D.C.

What a crazy vacation. I'll post pictures later!

Friday
  • Flew into D. C. through the outskirts of Hurricane Ernesto - the plane was rocking back and forth even after we landed!
  • Learned the wonders of the D.C. Metro system and learning about cool security things from Mel
  • Lilly's goodbye party at Mel and Andy's

Saturday

  • Deezy makes it to Mel and Andy's!
  • Watching the Michigan football game with a bar full of Michigan alums
  • Breaking my resolution to eat healthier by ordering nachos, chicken strips and beer for breakfast
  • Sleeping through the 3rd quarter (I'm just not a football fan!)
  • Shopping around Georgetown and rockin' the Labor Day Weekend sales with the gang and Audrey
  • Grocery shopping with Mel, Andy and Deezy
  • Trying very hard with Deezy to stay away from sweets
  • Ended up giving in to BBQ chips and ice cream
  • Cuddling up all together to watch a movie

Sunday

  • National Mall with my girls: Hope diamond, Washington monument, Capitol Building, World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, World War I Memorial, White House. (We tired out and gave up before getting to Jefferson and FDR)
  • Crossing the border to Virginia
  • Shopping at a HUUUUUGE DSW store and getting boots for $6
  • Watching Friends bloopers
  • Andy joins us at the bar
  • Missed the last metro back to D.C. so instead taking the cab

Monday

  • Meeting up with Christine and John at the zoo
  • Baby panda, baby elephant, and other animals
  • Sushi for lunch
  • Visiting the Embassies
  • Packing and plane ride home

Still trying to get my apartment together since I haven't really felt settled back home for over 2 weeks now. Work is picking up and I'm literally swamped with paperwork - yesterday I gave up working at the desk, pushed my chair aside, and just worked on the floor of my cubicle!
