time to rest

it's friday afternoon which makes for a perfect time to catch up on last weekend as i prepare to enter this one...

remember in my last blog how i mentioned that i learned the lesson to not try to leave the city on a friday afternoon? well apparently lessons are soon forgotten in my mind as my sister and i started out on our trek down to NC friday afternoon. two hours and 13 miles later, the recently learned lesson was all too apparent. needless to say, we made it safely there, just slightly delayed.

saturday was so fun as we had a bridal shower for my sister tab. nothing like a good 'ole bridal shower with a bunch of southern women, all of which are part of your family. it's times like that that i am reminded just how much i love my family and love the south. tab made out like a bandit with all of her gifts and i enjoyed playing maid of honor (a responsibility that i'm not quite sure yet what all it entails. i interpreted it to mean being social with all the guests but somehow feel as though i probably neglected at least some of my unknown duties).

sunday morning i hopped on a flight from NC up to NYC where i met seth at penn station. he had rented a car and we began our trek up to Boston. the drive was 3 1/2 hours which isn't bad. directly once we got there we headed to fenway for a bbq thank-you dinner with romney. i felt like such an outsider as i was surrounded by those that actually belonged there and had actually raised funds for romney. i luckily was able to tag along with seth and i saw a few old friends in the meantime. that evening we went to the north end and had dinner with friends.

monday we drove back to NYC and that evening had a chill night that consisted a walk around central park followed by a fabulous argentine restaurant. tuesday morning i hopped on another plane and headed back to DC and went straight to work.

i oddly enough took zero pictures this weekend. lame, i know. but i believe my sister has about 2,000 from the bridal shower so i'll see if i can muster some up and post soon. oh! that's right! i took all of the photos at the bridal shower which makes me feel like i at least fulfilled some of my duties. ah, i feel better now...

happy upcoming weekend everyone!
