I was able to spend a weekend in Washington D.C. with my good friends Kimi & Linda in late April. D.C. was beautiful!!
Friday we ventured around Washington D.C. – we got to see a tour of the capitol, Supreme Court Building, and a few museums including the Botanic Gardens & the Air and Space Museum.
Kimi & Joe have the greatest little sweet shops- we enjoyed the Dairy Godmother’s frozen custard & Gerards bakery- Yum!!
An extra special thank you to Joe & Kimi for letting us stay with them & to Joe for putting up with three obnoxious ladies all weekend!
Mt. Vernon was by far my favorite place, it was beautiful!! I can see why George Washington was so in love with it-
I have to admit it was cool to stand in the very same place George Washington stood- he was quite a man!
Saturday afternoon we headed out to Maryland to see Annapolis & to see the ocean (you know how I love the ocean!)
We had dinner in a little restaurant well known for their crab cakes & even found a photo op in the alley way… never a dull moment with this crowd!
We took a little bay cruise, it was so beautiful!
Although a little chilly…
I always get picked on for the goofy stuff- I couldn’t have gotten picked for a free trip or for a free snack? No I get picked for the life-saver demo…
Sunday afternoon we went to the National Arboretum – it was really beautiful, and I was really wishing Chase could have tagged along, it was dog heaven with all the open grassy space!
Kimi and I wrapped up the trip with some delicious cooking- I still need her carrot cake recipe!
Good times that went way too fast!!
We’ll have to do it again soon!

We were thrilled you visited and want you to come back very soon! I cannot wait until September 2011 for round two. You ladies are too much fun. Oh oopsie, let me send you that carrot cake recipe now..
Your trip looks like it was uber fun! I'm surprised that you were able to see so many things though considering that you probably were up late at night giggling :p
p.s. LOVED the bit about the free stuff a.k.a. demo :)
Wait! I didn't even know you went to Washington! I've been working WAY too much.
