Weekend update: DC edition!


Two years ago for Christmas, eddie's sister, Carrie, gave me a plane ticket to DC for a girls weekend. We did that trip last April and I got some kind of a stomach bug and while I had a great time, I was a hot mess the whole weekend. We vowed to do it again! Carrie's birthday was last week so we thought this weekend would be perfect for a sister trip to visit Carrie! 

Tricia and I left Friday morning after making all kinds of crazy plans-- the snow this past week messed up soooo many things! The boys were on a delayed start, Eddie had an early appointment, and we had a flight to catch! So dad took us to airport and picked up boys and took them to school...after a quick trip to dunkin!

We were so excited when we landed for our sister weekend!!!


We landed and went straight to lunch. And it was yummy!

We left lunch and headed to Carrie's to rest up and relax a little bit. 
Her cat really liked the way my hair smelled. He spent much of the weekend like this:


We had dinner reservations at a really cute place Friday night with two of Carrie's friends. We ate some amazing food and drank some fabulous wine. Basically, I was in heaven. We even got to sing happy birthday to the special girl!


We woke up Saturday morning--after a glorious night of not waking-- and it was snowing! We went to this amazing brunch spot with all you can eat and all you can drink. And we stayed there for over 3 hours. Well over 3 hours. 

Heading to brunch:


Cheers to us!

Heading out after brunch... VERY happy!

We needed to find a quiet spot for Tricia to make a phone call so we popped into a bar (in a hotel lobby where trish could go into a quiet corner of lobby). We had another round of drinks...and by this point, I was realllllly happy. 

So we decided to head towards the mall for some pictures. The snow was really coming down at this point so it wasn't crowded at all. I had the best time playing in the snow!



It wasn't just me who had fun...




We had plan to go to dinner Saturday night late, but the snow was really falling and the roads were getting bad... So we got some take out and watched a movie and it was PERFECT!! 

We slept in on Sunday and had yet another brunch-- we really didn't do anything but eat and drink the whole weekend!! We headed to the airport for our 5:25 flight... And it was delayed. We sent this picture to the boys telling them we miss them:


After our flight was delayed 10 times, we started worrying and then finally, the flight was canceled. We went to plan B and rented a car and drove home. 


We got a sweet Ford Focus and hit 95 south!


We pulled into the driveway right around 11:30-- and it was worth it to sleep in my own bed!

Another great weekend in the books!!!! Love my "sisters" and love spending time with them!!
