DC weekend

i finally made the time to take a trip, just me, to visit my sister, brother in-law, best friend and her baby (who i had yet to meet).

i flew out saturday morning.

arrived at the airport early and got read some of my book. always a treat when you have quiet time to yourself.

eliza and rich picked me up and took me off to lunch. yum.

it started sprinkling outside.

but not enough to cancel rich's flag football game.

i think eliza secretly wanted it to cancel ha.

we watched. i got a stomach ache, we left. we came back. we watched.

his team lost. but he put up a good fight and performed a killer belly slide in attempt to save the ball. go bro go!

after football eliza and i ventured out to go shopping. saweeet. not that i needed to spend money. but sister sister time. shopping. cute stores. we hit up this small affordable boutique my sister frequents called Violet and I snagged a dress for the high holidays and some brown leggings that have a stirrup for boots. killer. love them.

we shared amazing falafel and then hopped in a cab to do some more shopping at H&M and Zara. we saw this random guy on the street attempting to take off his pants dancing to music. it was humorous and we laughed a lot. shopping trip #2 success. we got some great deals.

headed home and sissy made stew. it was yum. we ended up eating at 9 pm. oy late.

after dinner i was exhausted. i fell asleep at 10:30 pm. heaven. too bad we slept terribly. oh well. next morning we met up with andrea and baby charlotte for brunch in bethesda. it was delicious. we enjoyed a pitcher of mimosa's and snuggling with baby cha cha. oh baby fever. i got to feed her the bottle. oh how i miss those days.

andrea and i headed back to her house and we hugged my sissy and rich goodbye till yom kippur. andrea and i laid around, watched tv while cha cha slept. heaven i tell ya.

once she got up we ran up the street to homegoods and marshalls. i snagged some halloween decor that i got them to give me at a clearance price and a pair of jeans that i only paid .87 for. i had a credit. but still they were only 16.99 anyways. gap jeans. stealo dealo. happy nay. went home and got creative with cramming all this loot in my suitcase. played with cha cha a lot.

andrea made this delicious dinner. we snuggled and went to bed early. this seriously was the trip of relaxation.

monday morning andrea took me to the airportand off i want back to reality.

i sure missed my boys and couldnt wait to see them that afternoon.

but...

oh how i love my sissy and best friend.

i can always count on them to chill with me.

they never feel like we have to do something

love you all so much. miss you all day every day.
