Abby's Party!

This past weekend I hosted a bridal shower and bachelorette party for Miss Abby in Washington, D.C. My mom organized all the food and helped me set up, so thank you mom! We had a great turn out and Abby got to celebrate with her navy friends, family and college friends- I hope a good time was had by all. We capped off the night by heading out on the town, first to the swanky POV Lounge at the top of the W hotel and then dancing the night away. I stayed up way past my bedtime, but it was all for a good cause. The bride had a great time and got so many nice gifts!! Only seven weeks until the big day!

Pawleys Island 2010

We just returned from a fantastic week down at Pawleys Island, we had beautiful weather the entire week and it was such fun to get the family together for a week of rest and relaxation. Everett and Rollin were completely and totally obsessed with their cousins- mostly Everett with Violet. It was very funny to see them interact and talk and fight- very funny! Even the 10 hour car ride was not that bad either way- the boys were so well behaved and enjoyed their movies and munching on snacks. We stopped at a few rest stops- honestly, something I have not done in about 20 years, but man, are they perfect! The boys were able to run around for about 30 minutes and by packing our food, we were able to avoid yucky fast food for most of the trip. Poor Rollin had to go to the ER the first night for a bad double ear infection (fever of 104.5, yikes!), but he rallied very quickly and enjoyed the rest of his week. Here are some photos of our trip!

National Harbour- Staycation

This past weekend, we took the boys to the Gaylord Resort and Convention Center at National Harbour- just a short 15 minute drive away from our house. They run great specials on the weekends in the summer due to low convention traffic and we were able to stay in a great executive suite for little cost. The boys loved it and thought staying in a hotel room was the best, especially Everett, he could not contain his excitement running through the halls. We took the boys to the pool, for long walks around the harbor and to eat at some of the fun places around the resort- we had a great staycation and are sad it was over so quickly-- until next summer, I guess.
