Finally! The road trip to DC happens (unscathed!)

Me and Evie headed up to DC (to finally meet Ms. Ryan who is now 6 months old!) the weekend of November 14-15.

We arrived mid-afternoon on Saturday with enough time to visit the DC zoo for a short spell that evening. Most of the big animals were already either asleep or inside cause it was chilly... but we managed to find some gorillas to entertain us.



Saturday evening was a dinner with Adrienne (and Evie hiding under the table, sigh) followed by cupcake decorating. Evie was more into sucking out the colorful gels (Sparkly princess gels, mind you) than she was decorating... no real surprise there.



Evie and I shared the Murphy Bed. She finally slept OK after picking a position perpendicular to me that allowed her to kick me in the kidneys all night long. The coughing in my face helped give me her cold that much quicker, too.

Sunday we visited the neighborhood park (ah, yes. A shopping cart is here for the kiddos as well) and then the local coffee shop/bagel breakfast stop before heading home late afternoon.


We had a great girls' weekend!
